## Categories
1. Transparency projects to generate data sets:
- Crowdsourced data platform & campaign (on company stances, support, ownership)
- Initial data collection & analysis of companies / products in one product category
- Establishing ratings system and discussion platform (e.g. consensus seeking approach via Polis)
- Collating & simplifying existing reporting on companies to avoid, adding alternatives

2. Consumer productization to utilize data sets:
- Browser extensions (e.g. steering your purchases to better alternatives; replacing mentions or content from worse companies with something else)
- Mobile apps (e.g. scanning products; tracking purchases; identifying bad apps; finding nearest "good" store; Tinder-style game or quiz about Chinese influence on companies or celebrities)
- LINE message bots (e.g. providing rating for products / companies along with alternatives, similar to cofacts; finding nearest "good" store)
- Game for tracking better purchases, earning points for choosing products that are better than the category average

3. Education & dissemination of information
- Data & key points visualization (e.g. infographics and graphs)
- Auto-generated content from data sets tailor-made for various social media platforms
