Reputation Score API

C Combination Innovation
Two separate worlds finally connect — and the intersection is a product
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.
Kill Reason
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: Airbnb controls the AirCover claims process entirely, making any tool built around optimizing submissions dependent on a single platform that can change its process, restrict API access, or ship the same functionality natively into the Host Dashboard — which Airbnb has strong commercial incentive to do.
killed: Contract review AI is already a crowded category with tools targeting freelancers broadly (SpotDraft, Summize, Ironclad Accelerate); the DJ-specific niche is too small to justify the acquisition cost of targeting it exclusively, and general contract tools already serve this need adequately.
killed: The product's core data source — scraping GigSalad and The Bash listings — can be shut down by a ToS enforcement action at any time, and the DJ market's price sensitivity means insufficient recurring revenue to survive the first platform restriction or competitor scrape block.
