SMEs
Do not always know what to fix next.
The evidence layer for SME development.
Mothusi helps programmes, funders, and enterprise-development teams support SMEs at scale. Its AI interprets every chat, document, mentor session, farm visit, and buyer conversation, weighs how strong the evidence behind each one is, and connects them into a live growth record, so teams can see who is moving, who is stuck, and what support should happen next.

SME support creates activity. But activity is not the same as progress.
Across most SME ecosystems, support is happening everywhere: training, mentoring, funding applications, site visits, buyer introductions, financial updates, compliance work, and programme milestones. But the evidence is usually scattered across reports, spreadsheets, inboxes, portals, and partner systems. That leaves every stakeholder with a partial view.
Programme teams
Can see attendance and completion, but struggle to prove whether businesses are actually improving.
Funders and lenders
Receive applications without enough verified, current business evidence.
Governments and ecosystem leaders
Cannot easily compare cohorts, spot duplicated support, or see where capital and intervention should go next.
The result is a measurement gap: a lot of support is delivered, but too little of it becomes a trusted record of SME progress.
Mothusi closes the measurement gap.
Mothusi captures signals from across the SME journey - conversations, documents, financial updates, mentor notes, learning outputs, programme milestones, funding actions, buyer activity, and sector workflows.
The Mothusi Growth Score turns those signals into an evidence-backed Growth Record.
That record shows where each SME stands, what has changed, what risks remain, and what support or capital should come next.

How Mothusi turns SME support into measurable progress.
- 01
Guide each SME
Mothusi supports each business through conversations, tasks, evidence requests, learning outputs, and recommended next steps.
- 02
Capture the evidence
The platform collects useful signals from the places where support already happens: documents, reports, financial updates, mentor sessions, programme milestones, funding applications, buyer opportunities, and sector-specific workflows.
- 03
Score readiness and risk
The Mothusi Growth Score assesses each SME across maturity, evidence quality, risk, readiness, and issue clusters. Self-reported claims are not treated the same as verified evidence.
- 04
Recommend what happens next
Mothusi shows what each SME should fix, what evidence is missing, which intervention fits, and whether the business is becoming more ready for funding, procurement, or further support.
- 05
Report progress across the ecosystem
Programme teams, funders, lenders, and governments get a clearer view of which SMEs are progressing, which interventions are working, and where support or capital should go next.
THE GROWTH RECORD
One SME. One Growth Record.
Every SME builds a single record of progress as they move through support.
The Growth Record brings together business information, evidence, support activity, readiness signals, risks, interventions, and outcomes. It helps everyone work from the same view of the business.
- For SMEs
- it shows what to fix next.
- For programmes
- it shows who is moving and who is stuck.
- For funders and lenders
- it shows the evidence behind readiness.
- For governments and ecosystem leaders
- it shows what is changing across cohorts, sectors, and regions.
Progress should be backed by evidence, not assumptions.
Under the AI mentor is the evidence layer: MGSS turns activity into signals, signals into growth records, and growth records into decisions. Mothusi grades the confidence behind each signal. A self-reported claim is useful, but it is not the same as a verified document, live data source, or third-party review. The Growth Record makes that distinction clear.
- 01Self-reportedThe business provides the information.
- 02AI consistency checkedMothusi checks the claim against previous signals and context.
- 03Document verifiedA document supports the claim.
- 04Live data verifiedA bank feed, registry, tax record, or other trusted source confirms the signal.
- 05Third-party verifiedAn accredited reviewer or partner signs off.

Every recommendation has a reason.
Mothusi does not suggest support randomly. Programmes, courses, mentors, funding pathways, and network opportunities are matched to the SME's current Growth Record.
If financial records are missing
the SME can be routed to a finance-readiness intervention.
If buyer evidence is weak
the SME can be prompted to submit contracts, invoices, delivery records, or offtake proof.
If learning is required
courses can be matched to the specific capability gap.
That means support is targeted to what the business actually needs next.
One evidence layer. Multiple tools.
Mothusi connects the core parts of SME support into one shared system.

Generic SME support is not enough for every sector. Agriculture has production cycles, biological risk, animal health issues, seasonal cash needs, offtake logistics, field activity, and climate exposure. Mothusi's Agriculture layer captures sector-specific evidence such as farm visits, production updates, vet dispatches, commodity diagnostics, offtake records, and seasonal funding needs, all feeding the same Growth Record.
