WhatA browser extension and API that automatically flags biomedical press releases with credibility signals — whether the study was in mice vs. humans, sample size, trial phase, conflict of interest, and whether the headline overstates the findings.
SignalMultiple commenters are frustrated that a major university published a headline claiming a drug 'restores memory' without mentioning it was a mouse study — and separately, that AI-generated science news sites with fake authors are proliferating and hard to distinguish from legitimate sources.
Why NowThe explosion of AI-generated science content and university PR departments optimizing for clicks has created an acute trust crisis in biomedical reporting, while LLMs now have the capability to parse papers and cross-reference claims at scale.
MarketB2B to newsrooms, health platforms, and institutional subscribers; B2C freemium for consumers. The fact-checking and media intelligence market is ~$5B. No one specifically targets biomedical press release credibility at scale.

Managed P2P Infrastructure for App DevelopersP6/10A managed platform that handles peer-to-peer networking (NAT traversal, relay servers, connection migration) so app developers can add real-time sync, file transfer, or multiplayer without building networking infrastructure.
Cross-Platform P2P SDK with Native BindingsC5/10A polished, well-documented SDK that wraps P2P networking primitives (Iroh or similar) with production-ready bindings for Kotlin/Android, Swift/iOS, and web, enabling mobile and desktop apps to communicate peer-to-peer without server infrastructure.
Pluggable Transport Marketplace for P2P NetworksC5/10A registry and marketplace of tested, maintained transport plugins (BLE, LoRa, Tor, satellite) for P2P networking stacks, with compatibility testing, security audits, and commercial support tiers.
Sandboxed Developer Environment for Untrusted Code ReviewP7/10A desktop tool that automatically runs untrusted repositories in isolated, disposable virtual environments so developers can safely review code from job interviews, open-source contributions, or client projects without risking their host machine.
Cybercrime Incident Reporting and Response PlatformC5/10A centralized, easy-to-use platform where individuals and small businesses can report cybercrimes, get immediate triage guidance, and connect with law enforcement and remediation services — a '911 for cybercrime.'
Supply Chain Security Scanner for Package ManagersC6/10A pre-install security gate that statically and dynamically analyzes npm, PyPI, and other package manager installs for malicious lifecycle scripts, obfuscated payloads, and suspicious network calls before any code executes on your machine.
