There are few ideas that I see that have the potential to change the world, but I would say this one may. A lot of people are too busy or to intellectually lazy to research facts. As such they default to non-verbal ques in candidates. The strongest being confidence.
A candidate can be confident while completely fabricating information and more people will believe them than a candidate with no confidence and truth. Having a tool like this to refute the information immediately will be valuable.
The trick will be the credibility of the "truth" provided. We all have biases and keeping them out of our creations can be more tricky than it would appear. No doubt if the product gains wide traction, many will accuse it of bias the author needs to make sure that they have double and triple checked the facts so that it can withstand the onslaught of accusations that will surly come from both sides.
