Implementation Strategies

Getting Started with Use Case Development:

1. Identify Your Trust Gap: Determine where misinformation most impacts your users' experience and decision-making
2. Define Verification Scope: Choose specific types of claims that provide maximum value when verified
3. Design User Experience: Plan how verification results will be displayed and integrated into your platform
4. Start Small: Begin with one high-impact use case before expanding to additional verification scenarios

Technical Considerations:

• API Integration: Use /broadcast-query for claim verification and /validators/active to understand available AI validators
• Credit Management: Plan query volume based on your 500 free credits and expected usage patterns
• Response Handling: Design UI components that gracefully display consensus results, confidence scores, and validator reasoning
• Error Handling: Implement fallback strategies for when consensus isn't reached or API responses are delayed
