Section 02

Problem

State the user harm, market gap or public-value failure precisely.

Banks ko:

Formal access can coexist with inactive accounts, unsafe borrowing, inadequate protection and unequal access to productive capital.

Fragmented finance data can hide household stress, delayed business payments, fraud, service outages and poor public-spending outcomes.

Specify affected users, frequency, cost, timing, provider or institution, coping behaviour, evidence strength and what remains unknown.

Section 03

Root causes

Test alternative explanations before prescribing finance.

Products designed around institutions rather than user journeys

Look for incentive, information, product-design, infrastructure, capacity, enforcement and trust failures; do not blame the user by default.

Weak transparency, financial capability and grievance closure

Look for incentive, information, product-design, infrastructure, capacity, enforcement and trust failures; do not blame the user by default.

Fragmented household, enterprise, market and public-finance evidence

Look for incentive, information, product-design, infrastructure, capacity, enforcement and trust failures; do not blame the user by default.

Short-term allocation incentives and insufficient resilience testing

Look for incentive, information, product-design, infrastructure, capacity, enforcement and trust failures; do not blame the user by default.
