PLATFORM

Run programmes. Manage evidence. Report progress.

Mothusi is the AI-powered platform for SME and learning programmes that need to manage support, funding readiness, interventions, learning, reporting, and M&E around one shared growth standard. Every business gets a Live Growth Record and AI mentor; programme teams get the tools to manage cohorts, deliver learning, route interventions, query programme data, and report movement against the MGS standard.

HOW THE PLATFORM WORKS

One operating layer for the full support cycle.

Mothusi connects programme activity, business evidence, learning, funding readiness, reporting, and AI analysis into one live system - a loop that repeats as each business moves.

  1. 01

    Configure the programme

    Set the cohort structure, stages, eligibility rules, diagnostics, MGS levers, evidence requirements, learning paths, intervention categories, funder indicators, sector workflows, and reporting outputs.

  2. 02

    Recruit and select businesses

    Mothusi builds your online application form with AI, publishes a personalised application page, and intelligently filters and ranks applicants - so your team focuses interviews on the highest-quality candidates instead of sifting every form.

  3. 03

    Onboard each business

    Every SME receives a Live Growth Record, AI mentor, baseline MGS score, tier position, issue clusters, evidence checklist, and recommended next actions.

  4. 04

    Run the programme

    Manage tasks, support actions, interventions, learning, site visits, document requests, partner referrals, funding-readiness steps, and programme milestones.

  5. 05

    Capture evidence as work happens

    Documents, conversations, learning outputs, financial updates, applications, mentor notes, site visits, buyer records, sector workflows, and programme actions write back to the Growth Record.

  6. 06

    Use AI to query and accelerate the work

    Teams can ask questions across the programme, generate diagnostics, review applications, build reports, create learning content, summarise progress, and identify which businesses need action.

  7. 07

    Report movement and M&E

    Dashboards and reports show tier movement, issue clusters, evidence confidence, intervention delivery, learning progress, funding readiness, outcomes, unresolved risks, and programme performance.

  8. The cycle repeats

    Every captured signal updates the Growth Record and the MGS score, so the next best action stays current. The programme runs as a living loop, not a one-off intake.

AI ACROSS THE PLATFORM

AI that helps run the programme, not just answer questions.

Mothusi AI sits across the platform - grounded in the Live Growth Record and MGS standard, so outputs are connected to each business's score, tier, evidence, issue clusters, learning history, and programme context.

AI mentor for every business

Each SME can ask questions, understand requirements, complete actions, prepare documents, submit evidence, and work through next steps linked to its Growth Record.

AI programme analyst

Teams query the programme directly: "Which businesses are blocked by compliance?", "Which SMEs are ready for funding review?", "What changed in this cohort this month?", "Prepare a funder update for this programme."

AI diagnostics

Generate diagnostic summaries from applications, conversations, uploaded documents, financial updates, learning outputs, mentor notes, and site visits.

AI application review

Review programme or funding applications by checking completeness, summarising the business, flagging missing evidence, identifying eligibility risks, and preparing reviewer notes.

AI report builder

Draft cohort reports, funder updates, M&E narratives, board summaries, SME progress notes, and intervention summaries from live platform data.

AI course builder and tutor

Generate courses, lessons, assessments, templates, and learning pathways mapped to MGS levers - then deliver personalised tutoring based on each learner's record, progress, language, and tier.

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

The tools that make the MGS standard operational.

01

Mothusi AI

The AI layer across the platform: SME mentor, programme analyst, diagnostic assistant, application reviewer, report builder, course creator, and personalised tutor.

02

Live Growth Record

The shared business record: profile, MGS score, tier, evidence, issue clusters, learning activity, support history, interventions, risks, actions, and movement.

03

Programme Management

Manage cohorts, applications, diagnostics, onboarding, tasks, stages, milestones, site visits, interventions, approvals, support pathways, and programme operations.

04

Learning Management

Assign courses, track completion, capture outputs, manage learning journeys, connect learning to MGS levers, and report training evidence against capability gaps.

05

Funding and Capital Readiness

Prepare businesses for funding before applications. Track readiness, missing evidence, financial discipline, customer proof, compliance freshness, and post-funding monitoring.

06

Reporting and M&E

Track tier movement, issue clusters, evidence confidence, intervention delivery, learning progress, outputs, outcomes, unresolved risks, funder indicators, and programme impact.

07

Network and Ecosystem Management

Manage SMEs, funders, buyers, mentors, partners, opportunities, regions, sectors, events, referrals, and support pathways in one ecosystem view.

08

MGS Standard

The common score, tier system, evidence model, and issue-cluster framework that makes SME progress comparable across programmes.

09

Sector Workflows

Sector-specific diagnostics, evidence, field activity, benchmarks, and interventions. Agriculture is the flagship vertical; manufacturing, services, and tourism follow the same architecture.

PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT

Manage the full programme, not just the score.

Mothusi gives teams an operational view of the businesses, learners, interventions, and evidence moving through each programme.

Applications and onboarding

Who applied, who qualified, what evidence is missing, and which businesses are ready to enter the programme.

Cohorts and stages

Where each business sits in the programme journey, MGS tier, support pathway, and readiness band.

Tasks and interventions

What support has been assigned, completed, overdue, escalated, or blocked.

Team workload

Which follow-ups, reviews, approvals, site visits, document checks, and support actions are due.

Partner activity

Which mentors, funders, buyers, training providers, or ecosystem partners are connected to each business.

Business movement

Which SMEs are improving, stuck, declining, or ready for the next stage.

LEARNING MANAGEMENT

Learning connected to business progress.

Mothusi connects learning to the Growth Record, so training does not sit outside the SME development journey. Assign courses by programme, cohort, tier, issue cluster, sector, capability gap, or funding-readiness pathway.

Learning paths

Courses and modules assigned to specific business gaps.

Completion and overdue activity

Who completed what, who is behind, and which learning tasks are blocking progress.

Assessments and outputs

Assignments, reflections, business plans, cashflow templates, pitch decks, compliance documents, and workplace evidence.

AI tutoring

Personalised support for SMEs and learners based on their business record, course progress, language, and current needs.

Learning evidence

Outputs that strengthen the Growth Record and support reporting, readiness, or intervention design.

FUNDING & CAPITAL READINESS

Funding readiness before funding applications.

Mothusi helps teams prepare businesses for capital by showing what evidence exists, what is missing, and what risks still need attention.

Financial evidence

Bank statements, revenue history, cashflow discipline, debtor risk, management accounts, and funding requirements.

Customer and buyer proof

Contracts, purchase orders, invoices, delivery records, references, and offtake evidence.

Compliance freshness

Tax status, registration documents, governance evidence, sector licences, and expiry dates.

Readiness packs

Documents and summaries needed for lenders, funders, procurement teams, or investment committees.

Post-funding monitoring

Ongoing updates, milestones, reporting cadence, risk flags, and evidence after funding is approved.

REPORTING & M&E

Report movement, not just activity.

Because every SME has a Growth Record and MGS tier, teams report progress against a shared standard while still including custom funder, sector, and programme indicators. M&E becomes part of daily operations, not a manual report built after the fact.

Cohort dashboards

Tier distribution, movement, readiness, issue clusters, intervention status, learning progress, evidence gaps, and risk trends.

Funder reports

Support delivered, evidence created, outcomes achieved, businesses moved, unresolved risks, and funding or procurement readiness.

M&E indicators

Jobs, revenue, compliance, learning outputs, funding readiness, procurement readiness, sector milestones, partner activity, and intervention outcomes.

Evidence trails

Where each claim comes from: self-report, AI check, document upload, learning output, mentor note, site visit, live data source, or third-party verification.

Portfolio intelligence

Compare movement by cohort, region, sector, programme, funder, tier, issue cluster, support pathway, or intervention type.

AI reporting

Ask Mothusi for summaries, funder updates, board notes, risk analysis, intervention summaries, or programme narratives based on live data.

MGS STANDARD

The measurement layer underneath the platform.

MGS gives every SME a common language of maturity, readiness, risk, evidence confidence, issue clusters, and movement. Programmes can add levers, sector rules, learning outcomes, funding criteria, and reporting indicators, but the core standard stays consistent.

Tiers

Where the business sits on the maturity path.

Levers

The dimensions measured at each tier.

Issue clusters

The practical blockers holding the business back.

Evidence confidence

How strongly each signal is supported.

Movement

Whether the business is improving, stuck, or declining.

EVIDENCE

Every useful action can strengthen the record.

Mothusi captures evidence from the work already happening across the programme: conversations with Mothusi AI, diagnostics, uploaded documents, learning outputs, financial updates, applications, mentor notes, site visits, funding actions, buyer records, partner referrals, programme milestones, and sector workflows. Each signal is graded for confidence and written back to the Growth Record.
