OBJECTIVE

TrustPoll is a startup with a clear and innovative objective: to create a secure, blockchain-based app dedicated to public opinion polling. While the concept was exciting, the execution needed a reliable partner who could turn their vision into reality. The goal was to build a Public Opinion Trust Machine – an innovative, blockchain-based public opinion polling application that is transparent, incorruptible, and trustworthy. To be effective, this polling system would have to ensure vote anonymity and prevent duplicate users, a feat achieved by using a unique two-part security system.

ABSTRACT

This case study examines the partnership between TrustPoll, a startup aiming to revolutionize public opinion polling through a blockchain-based application, and Rewired.one, an innovative solutions provider. TrustPoll’s objective was to create a Public Opinion Trust Machine, a secure polling system ensuring vote anonymity and preventing duplicate users. Given the specific and innovative requirements, finding a trusted and adaptable outsourcing partner was crucial. Rewired.one filled this role with its unbiased project approach, adaptability, and deep understanding of TrustPoll’s needs. They designed an application that factored in user psychology and community dynamics, introduced novel functionalities such as “One Daily” and geo-tagging, and aimed to educate users about blockchain technology. This partnership resulted in not only the successful creation of the app but also the potential revolution in how public opinion is gauged. This case study underscores the importance of trust, adaptability, and deep client understanding in vendor-client relationships, particularly in innovative sectors like blockchain technology.

THE PROBLEM

TrustPoll sought a solution that was not just a technical build but a comprehensive strategy that took into account user psychology, community dynamics, and the socio-political landscape. This required a partner who could offer a non-prescriptive, adaptable approach, utilizing best practices that best fit the client’s unique needs. The central issue was trust in outsourcing. As CEO Dan Mora explains, “The first and most important challenge is always trust, and understanding clearly who you are working with.”

THE SOLUTION

In response, Rewired.one designed an innovative public opinion polling app, introducing the “One Daily” functionality. One poll topic and result is published daily. This strategy encourages thoughtful consideration, increased user focus, and builds anticipation based on a daily life cycle. To foster community engagement, geo-tagging was utilized to attach communal identity to poll results, satisfying the innate human need to understand one’s community and how one fits within it. 

 A partnership with Rewired.one, introduced through a mutual friend, provided the solution TrustPoll needed. Rewired.one’s work ethos, centered on deep trust and an unbiased project approach that prioritized the client’s needs, resonated with TrustPoll. Their expert project management, led by one of their top consultants, stood out for its ability to navigate cultural differences and work with a diverse international team.
