From scattered activity
Training records, mentor notes, documents, diagnostics and reports often sit in different places.
ABOUT MOTHUSI
The growth record for SME ecosystems.
Mothusi turns SME diagnostics, mentoring, learning, evidence, reports and programme activity into one live Growth Record - so institutions can see where every business stands, what is blocking progress, and what should happen next. At the centre is the Mothusi Growth Score: a standardised framework for reading SME maturity, readiness, risk, evidence confidence and movement over time.
Already supporting live SME ecosystems across 8,000+ businesses and 11 languages.
SME ecosystems generate activity. Mothusi shows progress.
Most SME programmes are full of activity: applications, diagnostics, courses, mentoring, site visits, reports, funding requests, buyer introductions and compliance checks. But activity is not the same as progress. Mothusi was built to answer the harder questions: which businesses are actually improving, what evidence supports that view, which gaps are holding them back, and where support should go next.
To one Growth Record
Mothusi brings those signals into a structured record for each business.
To better decisions
Programme teams, funders and ecosystem owners can see movement, risk, readiness and intervention needs.
Many signals. One standard. Multiple decision views.
01
Capture signals
Diagnostics, onboarding, evidence, learning activity, monthly reports, mentor notes, site visits and programme updates.
02
Build the Growth Record
Mothusi organises those signals into a live record of maturity, evidence confidence, issue clusters, levers and movement.
03
Create useful views
The same record becomes a practical SME journey, a programme dashboard, a sector report, a funding-readiness view or an ecosystem-level insight layer.
The Mothusi Growth Score is the standard underneath the platform.
MGS gives every business a common language of maturity, readiness, risk and evidence - while still allowing programmes to configure their own sectors, interventions and reporting needs.
Tiers
Where the business sits on the maturity journey: from early formation to more established, scalable and institution-ready stages.
Levers
The specific requirements the business needs to clear to move forward.
Issue clusters
The practical blockers holding the business back, such as financial evidence, market proof, compliance freshness, governance, operating capacity or sector-specific risk.
Evidence confidence
Mothusi separates what is self-reported from what is document-supported, live-data verified, reviewed or independently confirmed.
THE SME JOURNEY
For the SME, the score becomes a workplan.
Mothusi does not leave a business with a vague assessment. Each SME can see its current tier, the issues blocking progress, the evidence it needs to build, and the levers it needs to clear.
Those levers can be worked through with Mothusi, with a human mentor, or through a combination of both.
- Current tier and movement path
- Issues to fix
- Evidence to upload
- Levers to clear
- Actions that improve readiness
One business record. Different useful views.
SMEs
See what to fix next.
Mentors

Ecosystem owners

From one SME to the whole ecosystem.
Because every business is read through the same framework, Mothusi can surface patterns across sectors, cohorts, programmes and regions - which sectors are moving, which are stuck, and where intervention will have the greatest impact.
Construction
Construction sector view
Common blockers such as compliance freshness, financial records, anchor buyers, project references and procurement readiness.
Agriculture
Agriculture view
Commodity mix, production records, buyer relationships, input needs, land evidence and seasonal readiness.
Ecosystem
Ecosystem view
Which sectors are moving, which are stuck, and where interventions are likely to have the greatest impact.
MOTHUSI AI
The conversation is the interface. The Growth Record is the product.
Mothusi AI helps users move through the framework. It can guide SMEs, explain requirements, help prepare documents, summarise records, surface gaps and support the next action.
For programme teams, Mothusi can help review data, prepare summaries, identify common issues and turn activity into structured reporting. AI helps capture and explain the work. The MGS framework gives that work structure.
Built for serious SME support.
01
Evidence over opinion
A claim, a document, a mentor note, a bank feed and an independent review do not carry the same confidence.
02
Movement over attendance
Programmes should be measured by what changed, not only who attended.
03
Standard first, configurable where it matters
MGS provides the common language. Programmes can add sector logic, evidence rules, intervention pathways and reporting requirements.
Designed for governments, SME agencies, funders and ecosystem owners.
- Diagnostics and onboarding
- Programme management
- Learning pathways
- Mentoring and intervention tracking
- Evidence capture
- Sector workflows
- Funding and procurement readiness
- Reporting and M&E
- Ecosystem analytics
- Multi-language journeys
Mothusi can support focused pilots, sector deployments, national programmes and multi-country partnerships.
