ProofPulse

ProofPulse is a web app (with a lightweight mobile companion) that crowdsources “trend proof” instead of opinions. Users submit a claimed trend (e.g., “everyone is switching to X”) and the community earns rewards for providing verifiable evidence: screenshots, sales rank snapshots, foot-traffic photos, ad library links, pricing changes, or short structured interviews. Submissions are scored for credibility via source requirements, time stamps, and cross-checking by other users. The output is a simple trend brief: what’s happening, where, confidence level, and leading indicators. It’s not a magic crystal ball—most trends are noise—so the product focuses on fast falsification and early signal detection. Teams can create private workspaces, run bountied “proof hunts,” and export briefs to Notion/Slack. The goal is to reduce wasted time and money on hype by turning trend research into a repeatable, auditable workflow.
