<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Impact</strong></span></h4>
<ul><li>Empower local tradespeople with verified profiles and repeat clients.</li><li>Improve customer confidence and reduce fraud.</li><li>Create thousands of new micro-enterprise jobs.</li></ul>]]></potential_impact>
        <problem_statement>Trustworthy artisans are hard to find; service quality is inconsistent and mostly word-of-mouth.</problem_statement>

        <solution_proposal><![CDATA[<h2><strong>How do you envision the ideal solution to this  problem?</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<h3>Which ServiceNow products or capabilities would be used?</h3>
<p></p><p>This solution will use the products listed and not limited to the following;</p>
<ul><li><strong>Service Portal</strong> for artisan onboarding, reviews, and scheduling.</li><li><strong>Field Service Management</strong> for booking and dispatch workflows.</li><li><strong>Flow Designer</strong> automates appointment notifications and follow-ups.</li><li><strong>Performance Analytics</strong> tracks service delivery and feedback.</li></ul>
<p> </p>
<hr style="border-top: 3px solid #bbb;" />
<h3>Are there any technical dependencies for the proposed solution?</h3>
<p></p><p>For payments we&#39;d have to implement IntegrationHub with payment systems (Paystack, Flutterwave, Stripe etc) and optionally integrating geolocation API for matching by proximity.</p>
<p> </p>
<hr style="border-top: 3px solid #bbb;" />
<h3>What challenges would you foresee in implementing this idea?</h3>
<p></p><p>As we progress some challenges might include verification of artisans’ skills and credentials and also encouraging adoption in low-digital communities.</p>]]></solution_proposal>
