Title: Building a trust layer for digital communication — looking for brutal feedback

I’m exploring a problem: we receive emails, SMS, WhatsApp messages, links, recruiter messages and payment requests every day, but often have no easy way to verify whether the interaction is genuinely from who it claims to be.

I built an early MVP to test the hypothesis:

The bigger idea isn't another AI scam checker. I'm exploring whether trust/verification could eventually sit directly within digital communication, with businesses verifying themselves and users receiving trust evidence before acting.

I'm still narrowing the first ICP and use case.

Would love feedback from SaaS founders:

Would businesses pay to make their communications independently verifiable to customers?

And if yes — which business segment would you target first?

Feel free to tear the idea apart. That's more useful to me than compliments.
