Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Motivated by the prevalence of online questionnaires in electronic commerce, and of multiple-choice questions in such questionnaires,  consider the problem of eliciting truthful ansrs to multiple-choice questions from a knowledgeable respondent. Specifically, each question is a statement regarding an uncertain future event, and is multiple-choice -- the responder must select exactly one of the given ansrs. The principal offers a payment, whose amount is a function of the ansr selected and the true outcome (which the principal will eventually observe). This problem significantly generalizes recent work on truthful elicitation of distribution properties, which itself generalized a long line of work in elicitation of complete distributions.  provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of payments that induce truthful ansrs, and give a characterization of those payments.  also study in greater details the common case of questions with ordinal ansrs, and illustrate our results with several examples of practical interest.
