How Risk & ROI Scoring Works
Every listing is scored across five weighted dimensions — replacing marketing rhetoric with structured, data-driven intelligence.
Legal Risk
Title status, court records, ownership structure & red-flag documents.
Developer Integrity
Track record, KYB status and past project delivery history.
Market Demand
County-level pricing, absorption and comparable benchmarks.
Location Outlook
Infrastructure, zoning and growth trajectory of the area.
Project Stage
Off-plan vs completed status, with elevated weighting for off-plan risk.
Every AI output carries a confidence label — risk score, ROI forecast, match score and document extraction all show whether a finding is model-computed or has been confirmed by a human analyst, so you always know how much to trust it.
From Curiosity to Confident Investment

Create Your Investor Profile
Register with 2FA and complete a detailed investment profile — budget, goals, timeline and risk appetite — so recommendations are matched to you, not generic.
Browse AI-Matched, Verified Listings
Every listing shows a verification badge, an AI risk score across 5 dimensions, an ROI forecast and a match score against your own profile.
Save & Compare Opportunities
Watchlist properties you like, dismiss ones that don't fit, and run the ROI scenario calculator against your own assumptions before deciding.
Request the Right Verification Tier
Choose Basic (~15 min automated), Expert (24–48 hr analyst review) or Physical (3–7 day field visit), and pay securely via M-Pesa, Stripe or Flutterwave.

Typical review turnaround
Register & Complete KYB
Submit company registration, ownership and track-record documents so our compliance team can verify your business before you list anything.
Build Your Listing
Use the guided multi-step wizard to enter tenure type, units, pricing, media and legal documents — nothing goes live half-finished.
Submit for Review
Your listing enters the review pipeline. If anything's missing or unclear, you'll get specific feedback to respond to — not a silent rejection.
Get Verified & Go Live
Once approved, your listing carries a verification badge and AI risk score, and becomes visible to matched, ready-to-move investors.
Manage Leads & Verification Requests
Track investor interest and any Expert or Physical verification activity tied to your property, all from your developer dashboard.
Grow With Subscriptions
Upgrade your listing plan to reach more diaspora investors and monitor real performance metrics on every active listing.
Bring Your Expertise to Diaspora Investors
Professionals are third-party experts investors hire directly within the platform — lawyers, valuers, surveyors, architects and other licensed specialists.
Apply & Submit Credentials
Lawyers, valuers, surveyors and architects submit licence numbers and credential documents for review.
Get Credential-Verified
Our admin team independently checks your licence (LSK, ISK, KISM or equivalent board registration) before your profile goes live.
Set Services & Availability
Define what you offer, your rates, and when you're actually available for booking requests.
Receive & Manage Bookings
Accept, decline, or propose alternative time slots for investor booking requests — you're never auto-assigned to a case.
Deliver & Get Paid
Upload deliverables, message the investor within the engagement, and receive your commission once the booking is complete.
Build Your Reputation
Collect verified reviews after every completed booking and grow repeat business from diaspora investors over time.
No self-certification. Every credential is checked by our admin team, never approved by the professional themselves — the same independence investors get from every part of the platform.
The People Behind Every Verification
Analysts are DiasporaIntel's internal verification staff — not a public sign-up role. They're the trained team executing Expert and Physical due diligence behind every report an investor receives.

SLA-bound
Every case runs against a visible countdown, not an open-ended queue.
GPS-verified
Physical-tier field evidence is geotagged, timestamped, and reviewed before it counts.
Admin sign-off
No report reaches an investor without a separate, independent approval step.
Own Assigned Verification Cases
Work a queue of Expert and Physical verification requests assigned by admins, each running against a visible SLA countdown.
Review Documents & Correct AI Extractions
Check uploaded titles, sale agreements and reports; confirm or correct what the AI document engine has extracted before it's trusted.
Coordinate Field Visits
For Physical verification, manage GPS-tagged site visits and the photo/video evidence collected on the ground.
Draft the Verification Report
Compile findings into a structured report stating legal status, risk factors, and exactly what the investor would own.
Segregation of duties, on purpose
Every report is submitted for a separate admin review before release. Analysts can't approve their own work, assign themselves to cases, or override a verification outcome — the same independence investors expect from us.
Built Around Kenyan Property Law
These safeguards apply automatically across every role — no one has to remember to check them manually.
Non-Citizen Ownership Limits
Foreign investors can't hold freehold title in Kenya. We flag leasehold caps of up to 99 years automatically, on every listing and match.
Short-Lease Risk Flags
Any lease with under 30 years remaining is automatically flagged as high risk on the listing card, report and risk score.
Land Control Board Consent
Agricultural land for non-citizens requires LCB consent — flagged and routed into mandatory legal review at Expert or Physical tier.
Ownership Structure Clarity
Every report states whether you'd own a whole title, a sectional unit, or a fractional interest — and exactly how it can be sold or transferred.
