The community does not have access to this service — yet.
A Node Business is a certified local service point. You have a printer, a scanner, and an internet connection. The people around you may have none of those things. You are the bridge between them and a system that produces evidence of their own performance — on paper, every week.
Who you serve
Your clients produce something, sell something, or deliver a service — and have never had a way to show that their operation is stable, improving, or creditworthy. They pay in cash. They may not have a bank account. They may not have a smartphone. They have a business, and no evidence of it.
A market vendor
Sells daily. Has no receipts. Cannot prove to a cooperative or lender that the operation is consistent.
A cooperative member
Contributes to a collective. The collective needs evidence of each member's performance to access bulk credit.
A micro-enterprise operator
Runs a small service — repair, transport, processing. Has customers, no records, no proof of track record.
A programme participant
Part of an NGO or government livelihood programme. The programme needs weekly evidence that the support is working.
Two paths — one print point
Member Operators reach the system in different ways. In both cases, the printed report comes from you. You are the print infrastructure for your entire community — regardless of how each person submits their data.
No smartphone · No internet
You print the blank QR-coded form. The Member Operator fills it in. They bring it back when ready. You scan it and upload it. You print the weekly evidence report and hand it to them. Their entire relationship with the system runs through your node.
Digital submission · Still needs print
Some Member Operators submit via the app on their own phone. They still cannot print. The weekly evidence report — the document they need to show a bank, a cooperative officer, a programme manager — is printed at your node.
What you offer
These are the services a Node Business delivers. You set your own fees in your local currency.

MCA Setup
The Mission Context Architecture is the foundation of the entire measurement stack. You sit with the Member Operator, understand their operation, and build the document that drives everything that follows. This is a skilled service — and the fee reflects that.

Member Operator Registration
You register the Member Operator in the system. They receive a unique ID. Their QR-coded observation form is generated and ready to print.
