## What It Does
BankMap AI computes a Banking Opportunity Index (BOI) for every ward
in Nigeria and surfaces that intelligence through an interactive map
with AI-generated deployment briefs.
A user selects any ward on the map and immediately sees:
- **BOI score** (0–100) with GREEN / AMBER / RED tier classification
- **National rank** — exact position among all 9,308 wards
- **Population breakdown** — total residents vs estimated unbanked adults
- **Access gap** — distance to nearest bank branch
- **BOI component radar** — ward vs LGA average across 5 dimensions
- **AI deployment brief** — ward-specific, jargon-free recommendation
generated by Cerebras AI (gpt-oss-120b)
- **Data confidence score** — honest indicator of input data quality

## Banking Opportunity Index (BOI)
The BOI is a composite score computed for all 9,308 wards using
five weighted components:
| Component | Weight | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Unbanked adult population | 35% | EFInA A2F 2020 + WorldPop 2020 |
| Distance to nearest bank branch | 20% | OpenStreetMap + CBN |
| Economic activity proxy (SIM penetration) | 15% | NCC / DHS-MICS |
| Poverty index (moderate poverty = opportunity) | 10% | NBS MPI 2022 |
| Market size (ward population) | 20% | WorldPop 2020 |
**Normalization:** 5th–95th percentile national range (1,657–34,025
unbanked adults), preventing outlier collapse and producing a
meaningful national distribution.
**Tier distribution:** 1,251 GREEN · 7,106 AMBER · 951 RED
