The document discusses plans for creating a thesis project that would combine social, relevant, contextual and visual elements. The goal is to create a service that makes it easier to gather and distribute information, and helps identify potential lies from government officials. The creator plans to do extensive research and prototyping, with the goal of making the service trustworthy for both citizens and government to believe the data. A preliminary flow is outlined that would search a database for matching entries and inform the user of relevant results.
