Two-layer architecture
The methodology is universal. Your mandate is the module.
Layer 1 · Provara methodology
Fund-agnostic. Stable.

7 domains, 25 variables, calibrated weights — the same rubric every Caribbean SME is measured against, so results are comparable across sector, country, and cycle.

Layer 2 · Mandate Modules
Fund-specific screen logic.

Each institutional user receives a Mandate Module that translates Provara output into their fund's pass/fail screen — hard fails (sector, ticket, geography), conditional flags (domain minimums, concentration), and pass thresholds. Typical build: 2–3 weeks.

  • Not a credit score (does not predict default)
  • Not a generic startup scorecard
  • Not bespoke advisory or consulting
  • Not an ESG rating
