Get Me OUT · powered by the Poverty Exit Platform
Millions of Nigerians have the skills and ambition to earn a sustainable income, but remain trapped by a lack of access to productive capital, trusted delivery, and measurable support. The Poverty Exit Platform is the infrastructure that changes the question a nation asks of every intervention — from “How much was spent?” to “How many people permanently exited poverty?”
A working MVP is available for demonstration to prospective partners.
Decades of charity and cash transfers have relieved suffering without reliably ending it — because they are built to deliver relief, not exit. Money is given; outcomes are assumed. Success is declared at disbursement, and no one can prove how many households permanently stopped being poor.
Get Me OUT replaces poverty relief with poverty exit: a structured, measurable graduation from poverty — verified, priced, and provable.
A journey out of poverty
Musa is a welder in Kaduna. He already had the skill, and he already had customers. What he lacked was one generator — and no system that could connect him to verified capital, a trusted supplier, and the training to make it last.
Every year, billions of naira are spent fighting poverty, yet Musa stays poor. The Poverty Exit Platform is the system built for people like him — and it proves, step by step, that he made it out.
Every beneficiary follows one verified pipeline, matched to a pathway out of poverty. Each stage is enforced in the platform itself — a case cannot advance unless every accountability control is satisfied.
No capital reaches anyone who has not completed and passed training. Capital without capability destroys both.
Every decision is scored and explained in plain language — and made by a named officer. The AI has zero authority over money and never sees a beneficiary’s name.
An equipment quote above an audited benchmark cannot be created. Inflated procurement — the biggest leak in cash programmes — is made impossible.
A supplier is paid only after both the beneficiary and a field officer confirm delivery. Every naira is traceable from funder to receipt.
The measurement standard
The PEI is a 100-point composite computed across ten dimensions — identity, training, productive assets, income, savings, business survival, dependants’ welfare, community contribution, capability, and financial behaviour. Every score is stored with its full breakdown and can be audited to its underlying evidence.
Graduation requires a PEI of 80 or above, sustained across consecutive assessments, with re-verification at 12 and 24 months. A good month is not an exit. For funders, the PEI produces a single, defensible value-for-money metric: cost per verified poverty exit — a number that falls as the platform scales.
Today, funders pay for outputs. The PEI creates the possibility of a shared, verifiable currency for outcomes — a measurement standard others can adopt and license, the way the world already relies on GDP, HDI, and the Gini coefficient.
Get Me OUT does not replace existing poverty programmes. It strengthens them — providing the infrastructure to deliver, monitor, and verify outcomes more effectively than any of them can today.
| Traditional programme | The Get Me OUT Model |
|---|---|
| Measures spend | Measures verified exits |
| Cash-first | Pathway-first |
| Limited or no follow-up | Continuous monitoring, 12- & 24-month re-verification |
| Manual, discretionary oversight | AI-assisted, human-approved decisions |
| Paper audit | Immutable, replayable audit trail |
| Success declared at disbursement | Success proven at sustained graduation |
It cannot fail invisibly.
Every decision, every naira, every step is permanently recorded. An independent auditor can replay any beneficiary’s journey from end to end.
Growth is earned stage by stage — each with published exit criteria before the next begins.

A short guided walkthrough is available on request — and a recorded demo is coming soon.
The Poverty Exit Platform is not a startup. It is a mission-led infrastructure organisation — in the tradition of organisations that became influential by building shared, public-interest infrastructure that others adopt. Governments, NGOs, and funders deliver through it; no single interest controls it.
Value for money
A published cost per verified exit — the number a finance ministry and a programme officer both understand.
Transparency
An auditable, fraud-resistant delivery rail. Every claimed outcome is independently verifiable.
Evidence
Aligned to SDGs 1, 8, 10 and 5, with an independently verifiable outcomes dataset built in.

Get Me OUT began with a simple conviction: practical economic empowerment is more transformative than temporary financial assistance. Long before building this platform, [FOUNDER NAME] personally funded small-business opportunities in his community — including helping one beneficiary establish a GSM call-centre business — and saw, first-hand, how one well-placed investment can change a household’s trajectory.
That lived experience is paired with a professional background in enterprise software and AI governance — the disciplines behind the platform’s explainability, auditability, and trust. Get Me OUT is the formalisation of a long-held belief into a governed, measurable model that can be delivered at scale.
Get Me OUT is the citizen-facing programme — how a beneficiary applies and follows their journey. The Poverty Exit Platform is the infrastructure beneath it: the pathways, the marketplace, the governance, and the Poverty Exit Index. Get Me OUT is powered by the Poverty Exit Platform.
Through the Poverty Exit Index — a 100-point measure across ten dimensions, computed from platform and (at scale) bank-verified data. Graduation requires a score of 80 or above, sustained across consecutive assessments, with re-verification at 12 and 24 months. Relapses are counted honestly in published statistics.
Identity is verified and de-duplicated; training must be completed before funding; equipment cannot be over-priced; suppliers are paid only after dual-confirmed delivery; and every action is written to an immutable audit trail. The platform cannot fail invisibly.
No. The AI produces a scored recommendation with a plain-language rationale, and never sees a beneficiary’s name or phone number. A named human officer makes every consequential decision, and any adverse decision can be appealed to a human panel that can overrule the system.
No — it strengthens them. Get Me OUT provides the delivery, monitoring, and verification infrastructure that existing programmes can adopt to prove outcomes more effectively.
Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act by design: informed consent, purpose limitation, and data minimisation. Sponsors see a first name and ward-level location only — never a surname or phone number.
Governments no longer measure poverty programmes by money spent.
Funders no longer rely on assumptions.
Every beneficiary has a verified pathway.
Every sponsor sees measurable impact.
Every supplier is accountable.
Every exit is provable.
That is the future the Poverty Exit Platform is building.
