Seconds at the shelf
Scan, search, understand, save and watch. Evidence powered by HonourFood; no separate score or database.
Open the working concept ↗Founder architecture · one evidence core, three surfaces
Scan the pack.
Build the receipt.
HonourFood remains the accountable evidence system. #### is the intentionally unnamed scanner, Respectful Shop is the working commerce service, and HonourFood Professional is the organisational workflow.
Commercial split
Different jobs.
One truth.
Across outlets, before checkout
Test how a food list could become evidence-shortlisted packs, dated offer receipts and a user-controlled retailer handoff. Live retailer connectivity is not yet enabled.
Try the working prototype ↗Workflow at portfolio scale
Monitor packs and claims, preserve sources and versions, manage replies, export evidence and connect through an API.
Inspect the customer model ↗One canonical record
Product identity, pack images, claims, ingredients, sources, status, corrections and audit events propagate to every surface.
Inspect the method ↗Commerce bridge
Intent becomes a basket.
The user keeps control.

Barcode + five pack captures
Front, back, ingredients, nutrition and lot/date close-up. The current private form validates identity, file type, signature and size, and shows what is missing.
Private evidence queue
Duplicate detection, visual-quality checks, market matching and a reviewer workflow must be implemented and tested before a submission can become a named public receipt.
Bounded claim receipt
Exact claim, applicable rule, sources and boundary. A verdict is forced to Unresolved until a complete capture is linked to an immutable reviewed pack version.
How the data moves
One service. Separate truth layers.
The mobile app and free website read the same reviewed catalogue. The app does not carry the master dataset; it requests current records and securely caches only what it needs.
- 1Phone captureGTIN · market · front/back · ingredient/nutrition · lot/date
- 2Private intakeLive: authenticated submitter and file checks · Planned: duplicate and image-quality checks
- 3Structured storeProduct/claim/source/version metadata in the database; private image bytes in object storage
- 4Editorial reviewExact-pack match · rule selection · evidence weighting · manufacturer reply
- 5Public receiptLive: searchable demonstration, sources and dated events · Gated: member reactions and final finding without exact pack
Storage boundary
Text does not live “inside” the app.
GTINs, markets, products, claims, evidence statuses and source metadata. The immutable pack-version schema now blocks changes and deletion; existing receipts remain explicitly unconfirmed until reviewed links are created.
Original front/back/ingredient/nutrition photographs. Public derivatives are created only for approved receipts and must be stripped of unnecessary metadata.
Temporary search results and in-progress offline drafts. It is convenient, encrypted where supported and never the authoritative record.
Manipulation resistance
A purchase price cannot be the anti-bot system.
Authenticated account event
Public reactions are disabled. Authentication, one mutable choice and consent are necessary but insufficient without a complete fake-review control system.
Rate and anomaly controls
Set privacy-preserving budgets, flag bursts, document investigations and offer appeals before reactions reopen. Device-integrity signals require a privacy impact and legitimate-interest review first.
Pack proof over popularity
Any later reactions may express whether a receipt convinces members. They can never establish the evidence status or change a scientific or legal conclusion.
No public accusation box
Suggestions enter a private queue. Named claims require an exact pack, a bounded proposition, sources and human review.
Visible corrections
Every substantive edit creates a dated version. Manufacturers receive a free route to correct facts and submit evidence.
Collect the minimum
Feedback requests no identity. Email is requested only after a person separately chooses authenticated project updates.

Commercial hypothesis · not a launch promise
£10 a year.
B2B funds the evidence.
A single rounded £10 annual membership is clearer and more efficient than a £20 access fee followed by a £5 renewal. It should unlock watchlists, history, advanced search and preferences while public evidence and safety information remain free.
The main funding engine should be professional workflow and monitoring for manufacturers, importers, retailers, advisers and enterprise risk teams. They may buy time-saving tools and private pre-launch checks—never a Supported status, ranking or removal of criticism.
Recommended commercial order
Open the full customer and funding model ↗Recruit five paid UK design partners, measure reviewer effort and avoided work, then test the £10 member tier once the catalogue has repeat value. A separate £20 founder contribution can remain optional.
Working proof
The web services are already phase one.
Use the #### scanner, Respectful Shop Level 1 retailer handoff and case studies to test the complete decision journey before committing to native apps, contracted basket integrations or a final consumer name.
