The original note, as written at the time
A similar service for other products can be executed. Only this time it is the choice of products that is streamed.
Ongoing development
The same streaming service applied to other products, except that what is streamed is the choice of product.
That inversion is the idea and it is a better one than the meal. In the food version you watch the thing being made. In this version you watch the thing being chosen — the market, the selection, the argument about which one.
The reason it works is that choosing is where the distrust lives. A customer can see the final product on a shelf and still have no idea whether it was picked well. Watching somebody pick, in real time, with the rejects visible, answers a question the product photograph never can.
The category that needs this most is the one where quality is invisible until it fails: produce, meat, second-hand parts, anything bought on behalf of somebody else. A wholesaler who streams their picking is a wholesaler whose reputation can be built on process rather than promise.
The economics are thin. Streaming a choice is slow and the customer is not entertained, so the value has to be in the guarantee rather than the show. What is actually being sold is a record: here is what I looked at, here is why I chose this one, and you saw it.
That record is worth more than the video. It is evidence, and evidence is what a market without standards runs on.
Show the choosing, not the thing chosen.
