Our Mission

Evodira was built to give Africa's food markets the trust infrastructure they deserve.

The Problem We Saw

Lagos has over 3,000 registered food markets and an estimated 100,000 active food merchants. Platform operators — delivery apps, aggregators, B2B buyers — onboard these merchants once, run a compliance check, and then assume everything is fine. It rarely is.

By day 30 most merchants are unmonitored. By day 90 compliance state is unknown. By the time a food-safety incident or consumer fraud surfaces, the damage is done.

We built Evodira to solve the continuous verification gap — the space between onboarding and incident that existing tools completely ignore.

What We Do

Evodira is a merchant trust platform that runs continuously in the background. We combine structured evidence collection, six AI model families, a 9-component risk score, and a human review layer into a single API-first service.

  • Operators integrate once via REST API or webhook.
  • Merchants submit photo evidence on a configurable schedule.
  • AI models assess quality, scene correctness, hygiene signals, and fraud indicators.
  • Risk scores update in real time and are surfaced via embeddable Trust Badges.
  • Complaints are routed to human reviewers with structured corrective-action workflows.

Our Values

🛡️
Trust by Default
Every merchant deserves a fair, evidence-backed score — not a snap judgement from a single inspection.
🤝
Human + AI
Models surface the signal; people make the call. We will never let an algorithm alone determine a merchant's livelihood.
🌍
Built for Africa
Designed around the realities of Lagos markets — sporadic connectivity, cash-heavy transactions, informal record-keeping.
🔒
Privacy First
NDPR and GDPR compliant from day one. Merchants own their data; operators earn access through accountability.
