Who writes

The Mtaji Insights desk writes our analysis and explainers. A piece in one person’s own voice is labeled Perspective and carries that person’s name and title. We name a person only when they have agreed to sign the piece.

How a piece is checked

Before release, every piece is checked against the terms of the products it describes and against these rules:

• It says who owes the money under each product it describes.
• It covers both sides of the trade: the suppliers an anchor buys from and the distributors it sells to.
• It carries no figure the platform cannot reconcile.
• It explains what the M-Score measures and how a business can improve it, never how the parts are weighed.
• It names no business as an example without that business’s consent.
• It states no price, rate or fee.

Corrections

When we change a piece after release, its date line says so. If you think a piece is wrong, tell us.

What Insights is not

Insights explains how supply chain finance works. It is not advice on any one business’s finances. Financiers make their own credit decisions, on their own terms.
