One-Liner
An API and browser extension that computes a real-time credibility score for any online content source, based on publication history, claim accuracy, correction rates, citation patterns, and domain reputation.

NewsGuard, AllSides, and Ground News already provide credibility scoring for news sources with curated editorial databases built over years. An API wrapper over public data lacks the proprietary editorial judgment and trust relationships that make credibility scores actionable — and the misinformation problem is politically contested enough that a neutral API score becomes a liability target.

killed: LifeLock, Aura, and NortonLifeLock already offer automated credit freeze, identity monitoring, and breach response services backed by insurance policies and legal teams — an AI-automated version cannot compete on trust, coverage depth, or insurance backing with incumbents that have 15-year head starts, regulatory approvals, and nine-figure marketing budgets.

Without a proprietary content corpus or network effect, this is a feature, not a business.
