Templates not template. I think if you know roughly which bodily systems a product is likely to effect, the questions are not so diverse.
My background is not in question selection (it's ML and webapp programming), but here goes some general question ideas for edible products:
The mandatory questions are intended to give LessWrong / everyone a say in what startups will test their products for -- NOT to provide a 100% guarantee of general safety (the FDA already handles that). We should use these questions to learn about unanticipated side effects.
I'm hope it will do something akin to what Google Translate did for translation: lower the cost for modest use cases. If you want a high quality translation (poetry) you still need to hire a good translator. However, if you are willing to accept a reasonably good level of translation quality, it's now free.
I agree it's weird that somebody else hasn't noticed. testifiable.com is the closest I've found. I've already spoken with Testifiable founder's and invited them to this thread.
I think you overrate the quality of Google Translate. That pitch doesn't sound right to me.
Ahh, okay. That one goes on the scrap heap.
I think if you change the price of something by an order of magnitude you get a fundamental change in what it's used for. The examples that jump to mind are letters -> email, hand copied parchment -> printing press -> blogs, and SpaceX. If you increase the quality at the same time you (at least sometimes) get a mini-revolution.
I think a better example might be online courses. It can be annoying that you can't ask the professor any questions (customize the experience), but they are still vastly better than nothing.
Another example is the use of steel. If it's expensive, it's used for needles and watch springs. If it's cheap, it's used for girders.
Email is not only cheaper than letters but also much faster.
The online courses example sounds reasonable but I'm still not sure whether that's the best marketing strategy. Having a seal for following good science processes like preregistration might have it's own value.
