The product

The challenge.

A business marketplace handles information with different levels of sensitivity. Investors need detail to assess an opportunity; entrepreneurs need to know what becomes public and who can access supporting documents.

The prototypes connect profiles, listing preparation, discovery, service packages and payment preparation. Their property examples belong to an earlier direction of the business marketplace, distinct from the current public offering.

The journey at a glance

  1. Create a profile
  2. Prepare a listing
  3. Clarify visibility
  4. Review an opportunity
  5. Start a conversation

Design approach

How the design works.

  1. Explain visibility where information is entered

    The requirements distinguish public listing details from private business and investor information. The profile interface explains that the information in that section is available to Banki only.

    This places a visibility explanation beside the fields it concerns. Supporting-document requirements also identify platform review as a separate use from public display.

  2. Give each type of listing information a place

    Listing creation groups descriptive, financial, pricing, package and document information into named sections. Each section handles a different part of preparing the opportunity.

    The form specification pairs financial fields with explanations and evidence requirements. It distinguishes a figure entered by the listing owner from the documents used to review it.

  3. Distinguish verification from the contact route

    The product materials distinguish verified and unverified information. The public FAQ separately describes direct contact and contact handled through Banki.

    These answer different questions: what has been checked, and who responds to an enquiry. They are part of understanding the listing, rather than an assurance of investment quality.

Reflection

The design takeaway.

A next evaluation should check whether someone can explain which information is public, what a verification mark covers and who will receive their enquiry.
