Promise resolution tracking for political choices could be a useful tool. With each promise tracked you could produce a percent which could be displayed with the candidates picture and a brief synopsis of their "score". The contact information and a tool to initiate communication would all be available (even if the communication is just email), and you could even have the politicians join so that they could have like an intern respond to messages or something.

This has probably been done, right?

There is one in Ukraine, see links below. Interested to know about such ones for western countries.

it's easy to game and those sorts of stats mean nothing to most people.

if it became effective enough that any politicians even heard of it, let alone started trying to game it, that would be great news.
