Published conclusion
Tier 1 — Functional MVP
There is credible evidence of an operating B2B platform, but the submitted test could not validate the core workflow and identified reliability/documentation issues. Keep Tier 1: credible product exists, but direct core verification was blocked and quality issues were observed.
Reverified assessment
Verified findings and limitations
Direct review observationsThe reviewer encountered onboarding failures: desktop registration did not complete as expected, a mobile verification email was inconsistent, knowledge-base content returned 404 and legal-document surfaces were incomplete. The core risk workflow was not executed.
Independent verificationAkiba currently presents an active enterprise risk platform with KYC/KYB, AML/PEP and alternative-data products.
Observed issuesOnboarding/documentation failures in the direct review; core risk engine not independently exercised.
Testing limitationsEnterprise B2B access constraints; current public product claims exceed what the reviewer could verify.

Sandbox verification
Seven checkpoint assessment
The verified result is the official public checkpoint record. For earlier-standard reviews, these findings may have been reconstructed from preserved evidence during Sandbox Africa’s 2026 audit; they are not presented as if the contributor originally completed a structured worksheet. Contributor-submitted checkpoint wording is shown only where explicit public reviewer attribution has been enabled.
Step 1 — The Existence & Accessibility Check
Is it live?Checking for dead links, infinite loading screens, or "Coming Soon" landing pages masquerading as live products.
Sandbox verifiedpassAkiba presents an active enterprise risk platform and public product information.
Onboarding frictionCan a user or enterprise actually sign up, or is it gated behind broken "Contact Sales" forms?
Sandbox verifiedpartialThe reviewer encountered desktop registration and email-verification inconsistencies plus broken knowledge-base content.
Step 2 — Functional Testing (The "Try It Out" Phase)
Core loop executionDoes the application actually do what it claims to do? (e.g. a payment gateway completing a test transaction, a logistics app's routing engine working.)
Sandbox verifiedfailThe core KYC/KYB/fraud/underwriting workflow was not independently executed in the assessment.
User experience (UX) & interface (UI)Assessing the logical flow, responsiveness, and basic accessibility of the platform.
Sandbox verifiedpartialOnboarding/documentation failures created material friction despite an active public product presence.
Step 3 — Technical & Architectural Assessment
PerformanceLoad speeds, uptime reliability, and basic stress responses.
Sandbox verifiedpartialThe public product surface was available, but no controlled platform performance test was completed.
Integration readinessAvailability, clarity, and functionality of API documentation and webhooks.
Sandbox verifiedpartialThe product is API-oriented, but the reviewer did not complete a working integration against the core risk services.
Security basicsSSL certification, basic encryption standards, and data handling transparency.
Sandbox verifiedpartialEnterprise identity/risk positioning is visible, but the reviewed evidence did not independently establish the full security/governance control set.
