Your Big Four auditor verified 5% of your transactions last quarter.
The other 95% went unchecked.
In that gap — right between your payment rails and your ledger close — capital is leaving your business silently. Every cycle. Without triggering a single alert.
100% population verification. 48 hours. Zero upfront.
A clean audit report is not the same as recovered capital.
Standard audit methodology — the same framework every Big Four firm relies on — was architecturally designed to sample 5% of your transaction population and call the rest clean.
It is not clean.
Between your payment processor and your ledger close, there is a gap. That gap has a name. We call it the Technical Ghost. It does not trigger fraud alerts. It does not appear on your P&L. It simply feeds — silently — every settlement cycle.
And it is operating in your system right now.
African Data Strategist is not an audit firm. We are a forensic strike — a precision recovery operation that deploys into your settlement infrastructure and maps every point where capital is drifting in real time.
Your auditor is a historian. We are a forensic strike. There is a difference — and it is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Enter your monthly transaction volume. See exactly how much is silently leaving your business — undetected by your current audit. No signup. No commitment. Just the number.
A 2-page document — not a calculator result, not a template — that maps where a business with your exact transaction profile typically leaks, and what that number looks like over 12 months.
We don't do unsolicited calls. You'll receive the document by email.
If you want to talk after reading it, there's a link inside.
This calculator provides a conservative estimate based on industry drift benchmarks.
In 11 years — the number has never been zero.

You do not pay a single dollar before you have seen the work, confirmed it is real and approved the next step. This is not standard in this industry. It is how confident we are in the methodology.
100% population verification across every settlement handshake. We deliver a forensic risk map — every drift point named, every recovery amount specified.
We deploy our forensic backbone alongside your development or operations team — building the layer that keeps the ghost from returning.
The ML model that tells your system what is about to go wrong — before your auditor, before your regulator, before your board asks the question.

African Data Strategist is a forensic settlement recovery firm founded by Wisdom John, Managing Director and forensic data scientist with 11 years across three continents. We recover silent revenue leakage from payment rails, billing systems, and settlement infrastructure — in 48 hours, with zero upfront cost.
We did not build this firm in a boardroom. We built it in the field — in the most complex, fragmented payment and supply chain environments on earth — where a 0.1% drift rate was not an acceptable tolerance band. It was a crisis.
Over 11 years, across three continents, I have not found a single engagement where the ghost was not present. Not once. Not fintech. Not logistics. Not healthcare. Not a single one.
We work on a recovery basis. You pay only when I show you what I found and you confirm it is real. That is not a sales model. That is how confident we are in the work.
Most Recent Forensic Finding
African Data Strategist ran a forensic data integrity audit on a multilingual health AI dataset used across 5 African countries. We found 1,036 conflicting answer pairs — the same health question with two different answers in the same language. The model was being trained to give contradictory medical advice. We identified, mapped and flagged every integrity gap before deployment.
The ghost is not only in financial systems. It is everywhere data flows without verification.
