Trust Calculation

The Nairobi Reality

Nairobi's rental market operates on fragmented, unverified information. Brokers show outdated photos, listings omit water schedules, safety assessments and even charge for what you don't like .

Core Insight

The problem isn't lack of data, it's lack of trustworthy, localized data. Instead of aggregating from unreliable sources, we built a system that cultivates trust through transparent, community-driven verification.

How It Works

Submission

Residents report experiences via SMS or app

Verification

Community members confirm/deny reports

Consolidation

Reports converge into neighborhood insights

Trust Scoring

trust_score = (consensus × 0.6) + (user_trust_avg × 0.3) + (recency_bonus × 0.1)
