African company fundamentals

Helps Africa-mandate PE funds and frontier research desks screen and benchmark African listed companies by providing point-in-time, provenance-documented fundamentals so they can underwrite positions without building an extraction team.

Income-statement, balance-sheet and per-share line items, extracted from published annual reports, normalized to actual units and reporting currency, and keyed to the exact period as reported.

Proof: 120+ issuers across 8 markets · 210+ issuer-periods · 3,511+ line-item facts · extraction confidence ≥0.85 on every published fact · provenance annex in every package · live metrics /v1/quality-metrics/af-fund · 4 provenance guarantees

Use-case menu

What buyers do with AF-FUND.

Frontier screening

An analyst filters revenue, profitability and leverage across the covered universe in one query instead of 40 PDF reads. Output: API / Parquet. Value: days → minutes.

Benchmarking

Research desks compare issuers on as-reported, point-in-time figures — no restatement bleed, no unit guessing. Output: CSV / API. Value: defensible comparisons.

Agent grounding

Retrieval and agent pipelines answer with values they can cite — every fact carries source_ref back to the filing page. Output: API / MCP. Value: answers that survive review.
