Business model

Effort
A few months

Individuals under scrutiny need ways to create misleading digital footprints without appearing suspicious.

Develop an app that periodically generates fake but believable location pings (e.g. commuting patterns). Works alongside real navigation apps.

Monetize via one-time purchases. Market to journalists and activists.

Start with basic route randomization. Add behavior-based patterns later.

Risk: Legal gray area in some jurisdictions.
