The problem

What this project set out to solve

Service demand was fragmented across informal channels, with no consistent way to verify providers, manage disputes or measure quality. Trust — not technology — was the binding constraint.

Approach

How the work was structured

A pragmatic sequence — diagnosis through to build-ready specifications.

P01

Two-sided diagnosis: where demand actually came from and what providers needed to commit.

P02

Designing a verification and trust model: identity, skills, reviews, dispute resolution.

P03

Defining the matching, scheduling and payment flows end-to-end.

P04

Operating-model design: support, quality, ops headcount, escalation paths.

P05

Unit economics and pricing of marketplace take-rates and provider incentives.

P06

Phased launch model starting in one category and one city.
