The challenge
Homeowners in South African townships and on tribal or untitled land can spend years improving a house and still have nothing a bank will treat as property. E-DEED exists to close that gap: value the home, check the documents, and issue a Wealth Certificate a finance partner can use.
Verification used to take weeks, and shipping fixes and features on the platform was too slow for a product that has to stay in front of banks.
The approach
- The E-DEED team uses Claude Code on the live platform, not as a side tool. It is integral to every part of the SDLC.
- The platform runs AI property evaluations and a private EVM-compatible chain that mints property NFTs for finance partners.
- A homeowner registers and uploads documents. The documents are verified, the property is confirmed, and E-DEED issues the Wealth Certificate. The certificate supports a first home insurance policy and a finance conversation with banks.
"My experience with Scrums can only be commended and appreciated. You are a professional outfit and accommodating to our possibly very unique circumstances."

The outcome
- Same-day bug fixes.
- Features reach staging in days, not weeks.
- Property verification reduced from weeks to minutes.
- Cost per feature is 60% lower than it would be without Claude.
The platform is in production.
