ProofPlate

ProofPlate is a mobile + web AI app that helps shoppers and small food businesses verify sustainability and ethics claims with receipts, supplier documents, and product barcodes—without pretending it can “solve” global supply chains. Users scan a barcode or upload a label; the app pulls available certifications, flags vague claims (e.g., “natural,” “eco-friendly”), and assigns a confidence score based on evidence quality. For brands and restaurants, it provides a lightweight “proof vault” to store invoices, farm certificates, and audit summaries, then generates a shareable public page and QR code for menus and packaging. The goal is not perfect truth; it’s reducing greenwashing by making evidence easy to request, store, and display. Monetization is B2B subscriptions for proof pages and document storage, plus optional consumer premium for advanced alerts and watchlists.
