The problem
People don't know who to trust. Fake reviews, scams, ghosted freelancers, broken promises, and AI-generated identities have made trust expensive. Most decisions — hiring, buying, partnering, investing — happen with incomplete and unreliable information.
The product
An open research project publishing practical trust signals: how to evaluate businesses, contract checklists, scam reports, due diligence guides, AI fraud detection, reputation research, and verification methods. Eventually: trust scoring, verifiable commitments, open company profiles, and an API.
