See the public evidence behind a product's ethical claims.
Tech partner
Certifications are confusing, greenwashing is rampant, and the real story is buried.
When certifications are confusing and greenwashing is everywhere, a shopper who wants to buy ethically can't verify a supply-chain claim at the moment of decision — the real evidence exists in NGO reports, certification databases, and news coverage, but stays buried where no one can assemble it in time.

What to build
Your Mission
Build an AI-powered solution that shows a buyer the public evidence behind a product's ethical claims at the moment of decision.
A certification badge or a single trust score still hides the story behind it. The gap is a sourced evidence trail for each claim — every entry linking to its public record in NGO reports, certification databases, and news — so buyers weigh the evidence themselves instead of trusting a number.
How to build
Master the Challenge in 2 days.
Day 1
Find your personal angle on the problem.
Pick the smallest experience that helps someone see the public evidence behind a product's ethical claims. The goal is to make one of those experiences work well, not to solve every part of the problem at once.
- Assembles the public trail around a brand's supply-chain claims
- Enriches it with audit dates and documented findings
- Presents evidence without collapsing it into a fake score
Pick your angle
Day 2
Prototype a minimal possible solution.
Choose the simplest format that fits the experience and audience. Build only what you need to test whether the idea works, people can use it, or the system can deliver.
- A no-code prototype in Lovable, Bolt, or v0
- A working app in Cursor
- A custom-coded solution — Exa can sit underneath as a retrieval layer assembling suppliers, NGO reports, certifications, and news coverage behind a brand claim, with each finding linked to its public record
