> diverse panel of 12 real people of all ages, far removed from your peer group, around the world who will be able to give you an instant decision on your question 24/7. No commentary, just a verdict between two choices

If the userbase becomes equally-ish distributed around the world, for many questions, this wouldn't be very useful.

Especially when you only get a yes/no answer. People can give you the same answer for opposite reasons.

Should I invite 400 people to my wedding?

12xNo

1 from countries where this is too many, 11 from countries where this is too few.

(and it depends on who is up, timezones and all)

You were hoping for a No, because you can't afford 400 guests, and now you think the world agrees with you. Wrong.

With a well-crafted question, this can be mitigated. But I doubt the average user will be willing to put the effort.

Bingo. Further, there are some questions which I don’t the opinions of people from particular countries. If I want opinions to a some moral dilemma, I would probably be inclined to go against the verdict if all or most of the jurors happened to come from Israeli’s.
