TradeProof

TradeProof is a mobile + web app that lets shoppers and procurement teams quickly sanity-check “fair trade” claims on coffee, cocoa, tea, sugar, and bananas. Users scan a barcode or search a product, and the app returns a plain-language credibility score built from certification databases, importer/exporter records, brand disclosures, and recent news/NGO reports. It flags common loopholes (e.g., “ethically sourced” with no standard, mass-balance accounting, expired certificates) and shows what evidence is missing. For brands, TradeProof offers a lightweight portal to upload auditable documents (certificates, lot IDs, supplier lists) and publish a public proof page per SKU. This is not a blockchain fantasy: it’s a practical “claims verification” layer that reduces consumer confusion and helps buyers avoid reputational risk. Monetization is B2B subscriptions for brands/retailers plus affiliate links to verified alternatives.
