The compound effect

Each engine creates value independently. Together, they create intelligence that compounds — from a single farm in the Rwenzori highlands to a research station running closed-loop biology trials. This is not a bundling discount. It is the architecture of operating in complexity where others cannot.

+

Brain + Market

Field data flows directly into lot passports. Higher premium capture because buyers can see exactly what they are buying — origin, quality prediction, growing conditions — before contracting.

+

Market + Ecosystem

Trade data triggers instant farmer payment. Logistics and insurance activate automatically at the point of sale. No manual coordination, no delays.

+

Brain + Ecosystem

Farm intelligence data powers credit scoring. Lenders underwrite loans based on real yield data, not collateral. Insurance claims resolve via satellite, not paperwork.

All 4 engines

The full pipeline: field intelligence discovers, research characterizes, trade validates demand, operations structure economics. Ngoma — from soil to supplement — is the proof.

Frequently asked

The Brain free trial gives you 30 days of full access for up to 10 farms. That includes satellite monitoring, WhatsApp advisories in local language, and dashboard access. No credit card required. At the end of the trial, you choose a tier based on your farm count or let the trial expire — no auto-billing.

You can generate EUDR due diligence statements at $250 per shipment, or switch to $2,500/year for unlimited shipments. The process is self-serve: upload your manifest, and Market generates the compliance report using satellite deforestation verification and lot-level GPS data. No sales call required to start.

Yes. Brain offers a 30-day free trial. Market is free to access — you can browse, list lots, and generate your first EUDR report before committing to a trading relationship. For Ecosystem and Labs, we structure 90-day pilot programs to validate value on a subset of your operations.

Yes. Brain annual billing saves 20% compared to monthly. Market EUDR compliance annual plan ($2,500/year unlimited) saves significantly compared to per-shipment pricing for buyers handling more than 10 shipments per year. All annual plans are invoiced upfront.

The Watoko Grant Program covers the setup fee, hardware costs, and first-season subscription for qualifying cooperatives and farmer organizations. After the grant period, the cooperative transitions to standard pricing at a tier appropriate to their farm count. Grants do not create ongoing subsidies — they remove the barrier to getting started.

Watoko provides the agent layer, farmer network, and distribution infrastructure. Partner institutions — banks, insurers, logistics providers, payment processors — provide capital and services. Revenue is shared on each transaction originated through the platform. Ranges are indicative; final terms depend on volume, exclusivity, and integration scope.

Brain is month-to-month on monthly billing, or 12-month on annual billing. Market platform access and per-shipment compliance have no minimum — pay as you go. EUDR annual plan is 12 months. Ecosystem partnerships are typically annual. Labs engagements are scoped per project or annual license. All terms are negotiable.
