# 👁️ Eye of Ra
### Ghana's AI-Powered Procurement Integrity System
Built for the Ghana AI Summit & Awards 2026 — Financial Inclusion / Public Services domain.

## What is Eye of Ra?
Eye of Ra is an AI system that monitors Ghana's public procurement
transactions in real time, detects fraud fingerprints before contracts
are awarded, and gives citizens, oversight bodies, and the PPA a live
integrity dashboard.
Built on Ghana's Public Procurement Act (Act 663 & Act 914) and trained
on publicly available Ghanaian procurement data.

## The Problem
Ghana lost **GH₵18.4 billion** to financial irregularities in 2024 alone
— a 109% increase from 2023. Less than 0.5% was ever recovered.
The system is reactive. Auditors find fraud after the money is gone.
Eye of Ra makes it **predictive**.

## Solution Architecture
- **5 AI Detection Engines** — bid manipulation, supplier integrity,
price benchmarking, method abuse, plan deviation
- **XGBoost + Isolation Forest ensemble** trained on Auditor-General data
- **SHAP explainability** — plain English explanation for every flag
- **3-tier action system** — Monitor / Review / Escalate
- **Public dashboard** — any Ghanaian can see any procurement entity's
integrity score

## Legal Foundation
Grounded in Ghana's Public Procurement Act 663 (2003) as amended by
Act 914 (2016). Every detection rule cites the specific legal provision
it enforces.
