The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-e1c6f847da6e35c7 descriptive
Takeshiba waterfront in Minato Ward
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
TMG's Smart Tokyo page places the pilot area 'in the bay area on the east side of Minato Ward' and repeatedly calls it 'the Takeshiba area' — matching the snippet's Minato Ward/waterfront framing, though TMG itself never uses the word 'waterfront.'
Caveat
The page describes a 'bay area,' not a 'waterfront,' and gives no boundary or size for the area.

Claim 2 clm-d2d2b475653f1fb1 descriptive
Tokyu Land and SoftBank run a district-scale smart city built around a real-time data platform.
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
SoftBank's own account states: 'TOKYU LAND CORPORATION and SoftBank Corp. ... announced plans in June 2023 to expand their joint "Smart City Takeshiba" project in Tokyo's Takeshiba district, which first launched in 2019. Utilizing a data exchange platform that enables various businesses to access real-time data collected in the area, they aim to improve disaster prevention measures and enhance urban navigation.'
Caveat
This account is dated July 2023 and describes a planned expansion of the program at that time; it does not itself confirm the platform is still operating as described as of the entry's 2026 verification date.

Claim 3 clm-69f127046aa24cc7 descriptive
feed live data on foot traffic, road and water conditions
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
TMG's page states the Takeshiba data platform lets businesses 'utilize data on visitor flow and attributes, road/traffic conditions, water levels, and more' — matching foot traffic, road and water conditions.
Caveat
TMG's page never uses the words 'live' or 'real time' for this data, and does not say what generates it (sensors, cameras, manual counts, or something else).

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
