    Problems It Replaces

    SMEs often apply with thin files, scattered statements, and self-reported turnover
    Loan officers spend days checking M-Pesa, bank, Paystack, Paybill, and invoice evidence manually
    Internal scorecards are hard to defend when borrower evidence is fragmented
    Collections teams see repayment stress late because payment behavior is not monitored continuously
    Outcomes

    Workflow map

    How the operating system works

    Domain agents, grounded retrieval, and live outputs are mapped to the way this team actually works.

    Loan application and borrower profiling

    Step 1
    • AI-assisted application intake for business details, loan purpose, documents, and consent
    • Borrower profiles built from storefront records, M-Pesa, Paybill, Paystack, bank statements, and invoices
    • Statement analysis that extracts turnover, seasonality, inflows, expenses, and repayment capacity
    • Evidence proofing that flags missing, inconsistent, or unverifiable borrower claims

    Underwriting, scoring, and monitoring

    Step 2
    • Internal scoring workflows with explainable score inputs and analyst override notes
    • Underwriter memos with source-linked reasoning, risks, mitigants, and recommended limits
    • Repayment monitoring across mobile money and payment rails after disbursement
    • Early-warning signals for declining sales, missed repayments, settlement delays, and cashflow stress
