Remittances to Africa
Growth between 2016 and 2025, from all source countries.

Kobatela is developing independent monitoring that combines on-site work, continuous intelligence and market knowledge. Our ambition is to build verification expertise whose value grows with the quality of accumulated experience.
Why now
Growing remittances, mobile access and lower AI inference costs create a setting for better remote project monitoring. Demand and willingness to pay remain to be validated.

Explore the revenue mechanics

Theoretical annual revenue, excl. VAT
100 clients × 1 project(s) × €1,200 per monitoring project
Editable demonstration assumptions, not achieved traction, a financial forecast or a price quote. Revenue requires the displayed projects to be sold and delivered within the year.
A photo, a visit or a document provides part of an answer. The value we are building comes from connecting them: independent collection, analysis in the project's context and conclusions that can be explained.
Our competitive advantage is being built through this combination: protection against collusion, an evidence history, local economic references and the quality of the field network. These assets should make the service more relevant as we work on more projects.
Artificial intelligence supports this approach. Understanding checks, their context and their quality is the expertise Kobatela aims to develop over time.
Understand our solution ↗A system designed to preserve independent monitoring and limit conflicts of interest. This applies both to collecting evidence and interpreting results.
A verification history and lessons from experience intended to give future analyses richer context. We aim to make monitoring more relevant with each useful observation.
Economic knowledge built from contextualised references. The aim is to offer meaningful comparisons for the product, location and period concerned.
A shared verification framework and a field network whose quality must be monitored over time. We aim for more consistent delivery as the service develops.
Results linked to their evidence, with limitations and a record of corrections. Human review is part of the approach for sensitive or ambiguous situations.
Focus checks on useful milestones and questions, then arrange separate specialist assessment when needed. Our aim is to make independent verification more accessible.
Development and validation
Kobatela is in its launch and development phase. Initial deployments should measure evidence quality, the usefulness of conclusions, turnaround times and the actual cost of monitoring. The capabilities presented describe our approach and its validation path.
Residential construction in Côte d’Ivoire is our first setting for validation. Expansion into other markets will depend on demonstrated quality and the ability to provide an appropriate service there.
Kobatela provides independent information to the decision-maker. Construction management, technical certification and management of funds remain separate responsibilities.
