I've found that the City-specific projects are the ones that usually end up being successful.
Cities are complicated, and while there are things that every city does (collect taxes, handle zoning, have a police department, etc) every city does it slightly differently. By deploying in one city and treating it like a prototype, you can quickly find out what works and what doesn't and THEN scale up. You need to solve one person's problem before you can solve everyone's.
