I am a developer, and I do some 3D / post production as a hobby. To explain further let's use an an example.
Situation 1)
You at the store in line you load up "fairness" app. After it loads splash screen and all, you see a message and it's this....
Hammer $35 Department of Repair
below you would see a "hot or not" style option. The option in this case would be "Suspicious", "Not Suspicious", or "Don't know".
This seems normal to you, you click the "Not Suspicious" button. similar to hot or not it moves to the next. This time you see this...
EZtainment $15000 Department of Justice
Again you would see the "Suspicious", "Not Suspicious", or "Don't know" option and choose accordingly.
Just like Hot or Not you could see the hottest, in this case we would see the 'Most Suspicious".
Situation 2) Which actually comes first, but easier to understand if explained last
volunteers go to city hall and ask for public records. one by one they simply take a picture of each document.
Which as I explained earlier, once that's done the app uses OCR to "read" it into chunks explained into situation 1
Overall)
'Most Suspicious" list would be open to the public, including journalists.
With all this data being accumulated on politics, you could very realistically include 3rd party pattern recognition looking for corruption as a version 1.5 or 2.
I almost forgot to mention the bigger the database gets the more corruption it will find, version 1.5/2 would start linking things together that you normally couldn't catch, in turn making request for documents acting as computational detective, using users as data miners and verifiers.
For the upgrade you could go even further, if the user input skills (s)he had, data could be veted for that user giving better accuracy.
