Why Ratidza exists
Important work deserves more than promises.
We are building a clearer, more accountable way for people and organisations to commission work—starting in Zimbabwe.
The problem we care about
When the stakes are real, details matter.
A new roof. A family home. A borehole. A growing business. The work may be different, but the questions are familiar: What exactly is being offered? What does it include? What can be substantiated? What happens if the work changes?
Too often the important details are scattered across messages, informal recommendations and quotations that are difficult to compare.
We believe those decisions should be clearer, even when the people involved have never worked together before.
What we believe
Trust is not something we can simply declare. It is something people should be able to examine.
A claim is not evidence. Evidence is not necessarily verification. And a proposal is not a completed outcome.
Ratidza is designed to preserve those distinctions, so that confidence can come from understanding what is known—and what is still uncertain.
Starting in Zimbabwe
A practical beginning. A larger ambition.
We are beginning with a simple way to describe projects, invite professionals, collect structured proposals and examine supporting information before making a decision.
We also publish guides that help people understand what to ask, what to check and where an authoritative answer matters—before they commission work.
Over time, our ambition is to help establish better evidence and accountability around real-world work. We are starting with the smallest part of that vision we can test in practice.
Where we are today
Ratidza is in beta. Its current workflows support customer projects, private provider invitations, structured proposals and supporting evidence. Provider-submitted claims are not automatically independently verified. We do not guarantee provider performance or hold customer payments.
