Parametric insurance marketplace data = a technical problem that nobody's solved at scale.
Here's how the infrastructure works:
Layer 1 — Escrow captures intent.
When a buyer locks funds, Garabaly records the transaction: what, where, when, for how much. 4-stage escrow. Atomic transactions. SHA-256 checksums. The transaction is cryptographically immutable.
Layer 2 — QR profiles carry history.
A herder's QR code holds their transaction history: 200 cattle sold, zero disputes, payment rate 100%. That history is portable—any marketplace, any region, any time. It's a credit report written in transactions, not paperwork.
Layer 3 — Offline-first means universal data.
Herders on 2G/3G sync transactions when they're online. No data loss. Every transaction becomes a data point, even in regions where connectivity is spotty. The system doesn't require always-on infrastructure.
Layer 4 — The indemnification bridge.
Climate data flows in. "32% herd loss in this region this season." Insurance algorithms match that against marketplace transaction data. "This trader lost livestock that month? Here's the indemnity." Automatic. Immediate. Verified.
The hard part: Building this without creating surveillance. Trust infrastructure shouldn't enable control. Privacy in transaction history. Security in confirmation codes. Data flows to insurance, not to governments or middlemen.
This is what "escrow climate resilience" actually means. Not a feature. An infrastructure layer.
