Candidate Scorecard: Independent Political Performance Audit Service

A specialized research and verification firm that produces detailed, independently audited performance scorecards for candidates before each election cycle. Teams conduct on-the-ground interviews with constituents, local government officials, and community leaders in candidates' previous jurisdictions; cross-reference public records, budget documents, and project completion data; and publish standardized, comparable scorecards (5-10 pages per candidate) showing promises made vs. delivered, budget management, corruption allegations with evidence status, and competence indicators. Scorecards are distributed via SMS, WhatsApp groups, and partnerships with trusted community leaders and religious organizations.

Value Proposition

Voters get verifiable, primary-source evidence instead of hearsay or media spin. Unlike social media discourse, scorecards are authored by a named, accountable team with clear methodology. Unlike traditional media, they're not beholden to political advertisers. The format is standardized so voters can compare candidates directly. Distribution through trusted local channels (imams, pastors, community chiefs) bypasses media gatekeepers entirely.

Original Problem

Nigerian voters struggle to identify trustworthy political candidates amid systemic corruption and repeated recycling of failed politicians

Nigerian citizens face a critical decision-making crisis during elections, unable to confidently evaluate which politicians are genuinely competent and trustworthy versus those recycling through the system. Voters lack reliable, transparent information about candidates' track records, promises versus delivery, and actual competence, forcing them to make uninformed choices that perpetuate poor governance. Current solutions (traditional media, social media discourse) are fragmented, biased, or unreliable, leaving even influential voices like Falz unwilling to endorse any politician.
