More information, more timely information, and better visualization of information through apps increase the chances for informed consumer decisions.
“More information and more timely information (i.e., in real-time; while shopping), as well as better visualization of information through apps, increase the chances for informed consumer decisions [105-107].”
From Digitalization and the Decoupling Debate: Can ICT Help to Reduce Environmental Impacts While the Economy Keeps Growing? (2020) · cites this paper as [107]
The Behavioral Change section says Good Guide provides environmental information to consumers at the moment of purchase, and Environmental Metrics says such applications use data to inform users and help decision-making. The paper does not establish that better visualization through apps improves consumer decisions; it also says these applications’ actual sustainability impact remains mostly unverified. The indexed copy provides no page numbers for these sections. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
