ProofCast

ProofCast is a web + mobile app for user-generated news and live-event clips where every upload is automatically “credibility-scored” before it can trend. Creators submit short videos/photos with optional context (where, when, what happened). The platform runs lightweight verification: metadata integrity checks, location plausibility, reverse-image/video matching, and community “witness” confirmations. Viewers see a clear badge system (Unverified, Corroborated, Verified) plus a transparent audit trail showing what evidence supports the claim. Publishers and community mods get a dashboard to triage breaking events, request follow-ups from uploaders, and export a verification report. Monetization is creator tips and a B2B subscription for local newsrooms, NGOs, and brand safety teams who need fast, defensible UGC sourcing. This is not a feel-good social feed; it’s a utility-first UGC pipeline built for trust and speed.
