Tier 1 — Functional MVP

The core loop works, but the UI is unpolished, APIs are missing, or it lacks scalability. Good for early adopters, not ready for enterprise.

Review verdict

Assessment findings

Still lots of outstanding features.

Sandbox Africa method

Structured technical findings

The checkpoints below assess accessibility, functionality and technical readiness. A published tier remains subject to later refinement as additional evidence is reviewed.

Step 1 — The Existence & Accessibility Check

Is it live?

Checking for dead links, infinite loading screens, or "Coming Soon" landing pages masquerading as live products.

Not assessed
Onboarding friction

Can a user or enterprise actually sign up, or is it gated behind broken "Contact Sales" forms?

Not assessed

Step 2 — Functional Testing (The "Try It Out" Phase)

Core loop execution

Does the application actually do what it claims to do? (e.g. a payment gateway completing a test transaction, a logistics app's routing engine working.)

Not assessed
User experience (UX) & interface (UI)

Assessing the logical flow, responsiveness, and basic accessibility of the platform.

Not assessed

Step 3 — Technical & Architectural Assessment

Performance

Load speeds, uptime reliability, and basic stress responses.

Not assessed
Integration readiness

Availability, clarity, and functionality of API documentation and webhooks.

Not assessed
Security basics

SSL certification, basic encryption standards, and data handling transparency.
