Why Our Approach is Different

Every design decision is driven by four non-negotiable principles.

On-Device First

  • All ML inference runs on the user's phone
  • No images or biometrics sent to cloud
  • Works in airplane mode
  • Sub-100ms inference latency

African-Centric

  • Models trained on 200K+ African faces
  • Kenyan ID-specific document pipeline
  • Low-bandwidth optimized (< 50KB payloads)
  • Swahili + English multi-language

Privacy by Design

  • KE DPA 2019 compliant
  • Biometric data never leaves the device
  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • Automatic memory clearing

Real-Time Performance

  • Complete verification in under 10 seconds
  • No waiting screens or loading spinners
  • Continuous frame processing (15 FPS)
  • Instant match/no-match decisions
