The readiness score

A score built from what you actually do with money.

Not from a credit file most Nigerians were never given the chance to build. And never a bare number — every factor comes with its reason.

What we weigh

Six things, published openly.

You should be able to see the marking scheme before you sit the exam.
01

Income stability

How regularly money arrives, and whether it can be traced to a source a partner will accept.

02

Payment behaviour

What you already pay on time — rent, utilities, subscriptions, existing commitments.

03

Savings pattern

Whether a deposit is building, and whether it survives the month.

04

Obligation load

What share of your income is already spoken for before a home payment is added.

05

Documentation quality

Whether your statements, ID and income evidence hold together and match each other.

06

Affordability headroom

The price range you could service comfortably — not the maximum you could survive.

How it is produced

AI does the reading. A person does the judging.

AI reads the documents

Statements, payslips and obligation records are read in one pass and turned into structured facts — not skimmed by a person under time pressure.

A person reviews anything odd

Mismatched names, missing pages, income that cannot be traced. Anything flagged goes to a human before it goes anywhere else.

You get the reasoning, not just the number

Every factor is named, marked as helping or hurting, and explained in a sentence you can act on.

What the result means

Four bands, and what each one gets you.

Ready

Your profile stands up. You get a certificate and an introduction to a finance partner.

Nearly ready

One or two things are short. Usually a few months of consistency away.

Not ready yet

Real gaps, but every one of them named — with an order to work through them.

Not enough data

We could not see enough to judge fairly. We tell you what to add rather than guess.

What it is not

  • A credit-bureau score — ours is our own, and explainable
  • A financing decision — only a partner can make that
  • A permanent label — it moves as your profile does
  • Something we sell to advertisers or brokers

Why we built our own

A bureau score is computed from formal credit history. If you have never held a credit card or a bank facility, there is nothing to compute — so the file comes back thin and the answer comes back no.

That is not a judgement about whether you can pay. It is a judgement about whether you have been *allowed to prove it*. Three months of bank statements says far more.

Know where you stand.

The first assessment is free, and it tells you exactly where you stand and what to fix. No payment, no obligation.
