Portfolio

Four products. One spine. One thesis.

Every product in the studio builds on the same identity rail and shares the same sovereignty stance. Each one is a real product — with users, revenue, and a multi-year roadmap — not a pilot or a deliverable in someone else's stack.

FoundationalPeople

Watu

Identity layer for the unseen economy — making informal workers visible as legitimate economic actors.

Watu is the foundational identity rail that every other Jabali product builds on. It enables informal workers to accumulate verifiable identity, history, and reputation that they control — without surveillance.
