Crowdsourcing
On-site observations
A network of local contributors carries out targeted observations and documents your project’s actual progress.
Monitor your projects in Africa, from afar
Kobatela combines crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence to monitor projects funded remotely in Africa. Documents, local prices and on-site observations are cross-checked to inform your decisions.
No account. No payment. Plan subject to confirmation by our team.
Your project / your simulation
Describe your project, adjust the proposed stages and explore your monitoring plan.
Our method at a glance
People on the ground to collect the facts. AI to cross-check them against your documents, local prices and your project’s context.
01Collect
Crowdsourcing
A network of local contributors carries out targeted observations and documents your project’s actual progress.
What is planned and invoiced
Quotes, invoices and other supporting documents: information to compare with the facts observed.
Local reference points
Available price references, the location, stages and history of your project.
02Cross-check and analyse
Artificial intelligence
AI cross-checks documents, on-site observations and local references to highlight consistencies, discrepancies and missing information.
03Understand and decide
Your project monitoring
What the observations can establish.
Discrepancies or missing documents to examine.
Relevant checks to inform your decisions.
By milestone or at regular intervals: monitoring is tailored to your project. Each new observation adds to the analysis.
What makes Kobatela different
Our approach combines independent sources, project history and market understanding to give your decisions more context.
A system designed to limit undue influence and preserve the independence of verification.

When people involved in a project collude, their information can appear consistent. Our system is designed to limit this risk and preserve the independent value of verification.
Source quality, facts and their limitations must remain central to the analysis. An inconsistency calls for further verification; it is not enough to make an accusation.

Kobatela grew out of a family experience: funding a house project without a clear view of its progress.
Our approach: make the facts, sources and open questions clear before any decision.

A clear simulation,
with no commitment.
Crowdsourcing brings together local contributors to collect targeted observations. Artificial intelligence cross-checks these against quotes, invoices and other documents, available local price references and the project’s context. This helps document progress, identify discrepancies and highlight points to clarify. Sensitive or ambiguous situations call for human review.
Monitoring is tailored to your project’s milestones or an agreed regular schedule. Each new observation adds to the analysis. Our team confirms the scope, frequency and availability of checks before monitoring begins.
It is designed to limit conflicts of interest and collusion that could distort a check. The aim is to preserve independent sources and keep conclusions defensible. This protection aims to reduce opportunities for undue influence; it does not guarantee the absence of fraud.
We are developing a memory that connects new observations with the project's history, relevant market references and lessons from verification. Monitoring evolves with the available information. It does not mean a permanent presence on site.
AI is designed to help analyse and cross-check information. Sensitive or ambiguous situations call for human review. Conclusions must stay connected to the evidence and its limitations; you retain control of decisions about your project.
An initial monitoring scope, stages, details of the planned checks, a calendar and an estimate when a reference covers the scenario. The result is accessible without providing an email address. The simulator, generated plans and customer emails are available in French and English.
No. The simulation requires no account or payment. Our team must confirm the scope, availability and quote before any work starts.
No. Kobatela structures independent verification. It does not transfer, hold or release your project's funds.
An observation describes what can be seen within its scope. A professional assessment answers a specific technical question; it remains separate and may require a separate quote.
The simulator offers a reference villa in Bingerville, Côte d’Ivoire. This illustrates a scenario and does not guarantee operational coverage. The team assesses feasibility for each location.
The price depends on the planned work, context and confirmed scope. Your construction budget does not artificially increase the cost of the same service. Simulator amounts are illustrative, with taxes and availability to be confirmed.
The simulation does not request documents. You only indicate the types of records available. Avoid sensitive data in your description.
