Claims within evidence.

These answers come from structured, in-person merchant observations. They are not generated from general internet knowledge or unrestricted access to private merchant records.

Current coverage: Yaba–Sabo–Tejuosho, Lagos. The public V0 uses 89 production baseline records collected 7–11 October 2026. The 10-record pilot is shown separately until canonical reconciliation is complete.

Limitations: This is a non-representative initial cohort. Self-reported answers are not independent proof of turnover, prices or profits. Longitudinal comparisons will be added only after genuine return visits.
