How do you know people are entering pricing info honestly? How do I trust anonymous respondents?
- giovannibonetti 2y agoNot OP, but I suspect they wait until they have lots of quotes from different sources and then pick the median.

- swyx 2y agointeresting that this and Blind dont seem to use zero knowledge proofs when the need for provable knowledge w/ privacy would seem super useful
- hobofan 2y agoRelated to that, I know that the SINE foundation[0] has been investigating using zero knowledge proofs for benchmarking. I also looks like they recently released a tool concretely to allow for privacy preserving benchmarking[1]. (I haven't looked into the the contents of the repo itself to check whether they are actually using zero knowledge proofs).

- xlbuttplug2 2y ago> If they are found to add wrong information you can block their account. How would you prove that a submission is not truthful? You can check if it's an outlier but that's definitely not foolproof.
- komali2 2y agoIt looks like you can trade insights for an unlimited account, so I'm assuming they actually vet your claims, e.g. ask for identifying information on who you are and what your company is, and ask to see evidence e.g. invoices, contracts. I mean, that's how I'd do it if I was wanting to build a platform with trustworthy, essentially canonical pricing lists, and charging a couple hundred bucks a year for people to see that info.
