KAMWI Horizon is an invite-native digital micro-lending platform designed for socially bounded credit formation in Kenya. The system combines identity-gated onboarding, invitation-bounded graph expansion, Bayesian credit-state updates, EigenTrust-style reputation propagation, affordability controls, and an internal tamper-evident ledger. These components are aggregated into a composite lending score that governs borrower visibility, eligibility, pricing, and exposure within a bounded trust horizon. The operational layer couples mobile-money collections, bank-led settlement, administrative oversight, model telemetry, and daily Merkle commitments over critical event records. This paper formalizes the scoring model, specifies the ledger construction used in the implementation, and situates the architecture within Kenya's digital credit and data-protection framework.
