ProofPicks

ProofPicks is a mobile + web AI-assisted curation app that publishes tight, editor-style shopping lists (e.g., “Best carry-on under $150,” “Work shoes that last 2+ years”) where every recommendation must include evidence. Creators and staff curators attach “proof cards” like verified receipts (optional), long-term update notes, return-rate snapshots, warranty outcomes, and durability check-ins at 30/90/365 days. Users can follow curators, filter by constraints (budget, size range, ethics, availability), and get alerts when a pick goes on sale or comes back in stock. The app avoids becoming another affiliate spam feed by limiting list frequency, enforcing disclosure, and downranking items with high return rates or frequent quality complaints. Monetization is subscriptions for power users (alerts, advanced filters) plus carefully gated affiliate links; brands can’t pay to be listed, only to provide samples that are clearly labeled.
