For funders, development agencies and foundations

Fund artisan livelihoods with evidence you can audit, not stories you have to trust.

Zevyla makes the artisan economy legible: who made what, who verified it, what it sold for, what the maker was paid and when. Every figure in a report traces to a transaction record.

What gets in the way today

Impact numbers can't be traced

Grantee reporting arrives as a spreadsheet with no underlying record. Here every figure links back to an order, a ledger entry and a verified product.

Programmes don't survive the grant

The commerce infrastructure stays with the organization after funding ends, so the earning channel outlives the programme.

Nothing is comparable across portfolios

The same data model runs for every tenant, so a weaving cooperative and a refugee livelihoods programme report on the same basis.

What you get on Zevyla

  • Transaction-level earnings evidence per maker
  • Verified production records with named reviewers
  • Provenance artifacts a donor or auditor can inspect
  • Comparable metrics across grantees on shared rails
  • Capital-readiness records for follow-on investment

Evidence model overview

A short document describing exactly which records Zevyla produces, how they are verified, and how they map onto common livelihood and market-systems indicators.

Questions we get asked first

Is this a reporting tool?

No. It is the commerce system the work actually runs on, which is why the reporting is a by-product rather than a separate exercise.

Can we see grantee data directly?

Only where the grantee grants access. Tenant isolation is enforced at the database level and every access is logged.

What stage is the platform at?

Zevyla is a working system available for guided walkthrough today. Published figures on this site describe capability, not validated pilot results.
