What's the risk to the SEFA tranche?
Here's the funding impact analysis:
R250k at immediate risk. SEFA's disbursement policy requires milestone evidence within 21 days of the gate date. Tau Logistics hits the 21-day cutoff in 7 days — if their financials aren't submitted, the R80k tranche is forfeited and must be re-applied.
Programme completion rate drops to 60% if all 7 remain unresolved. SEFA's minimum threshold for continued funding is 65%. This puts the R1.2M Q2 allocation at risk.

I recommend immediate contact with Tau and Vuka — resolving just those 2 brings completion to 67%, above the SEFA minimum.

Capabilities

From definition to disbursement, fully verified

Every milestone has a clear definition, evidence requirement, and verification process — creating an unbreakable chain from SME achievement to fund release that satisfies even the most demanding audit.

Milestone Definition

Configurable KPIs per programme phase — financial targets, compliance requirements, report submissions, training completion, or custom deliverables. Each milestone has clear acceptance criteria so SMEs know exactly what's expected, and Mothusi can verify submissions objectively.

Evidence Collection

SMEs upload evidence directly through the platform — documents, financial statements, certificates, photos, or reports. Mothusi validates submissions against milestone requirements: checking document dates, verifying certificate authenticity, and flagging incomplete or non-compliant submissions before they reach your desk.

Auto-Triggers

When all milestone criteria are verified, Mothusi can automatically advance the SME to the next programme phase, release the associated funding tranche, notify stakeholders, and update funder dashboards — removing manual bottlenecks from the disbursement process.

Audit Trail

Every verification is timestamped with who submitted, what was reviewed, when it was approved, and which criteria were met. Funders get complete transparency into the disbursement chain — from milestone definition through evidence submission to fund release. Nothing is approved without a traceable record.

FAQ

Common questions

What counts as milestone evidence?
Evidence types are configurable per milestone. Common examples include: uploaded documents (financial statements, certificates, signed contracts), monthly report submissions with verified data, compliance certificate status checks (automated), revenue or employment figures from the platform's financial module, and photographic evidence for physical milestones. Mothusi validates evidence against the milestone requirements and flags submissions that don't meet criteria — for example, a financial statement that's older than the required period.
How are milestone disputes handled?
If an SME disputes a milestone rejection, the dispute is logged with the original evidence, the rejection reason, and the SME's response. The programme manager reviews the dispute with full context — Mothusi presents both sides and highlights the specific requirement that wasn't met. Dispute resolution is tracked in the audit trail, so funders can see how decisions were made. You can also set up an escalation path for disputes that can't be resolved at programme level.
Can funders access milestone data directly?
Yes. Funders can be given read-only access to milestone dashboards showing real-time progress across all SMEs in their funded programmes. They see completion rates, evidence summaries, fund utilisation linked to milestones, and at-risk flags. Alternatively, Mothusi generates scheduled funder reports (weekly, monthly, quarterly) that are automatically emailed — so funders stay informed without needing to log in.
