summary

Claims a reusable national platform called Digit (MIT licensed) powers urban services: 260 million users across ~2,500 towns, a $700M ecosystem of government, NGOs and vendors, and a modular COVID certificate built in ~3 months and reused in five countries. Uses Kafka-scale components where needed but advocates lighter stacks for small countries, publishes code on GitHub, and accepts volunteers. Concrete impacts: complaint resolution drops from ~23 to 4 days in adopters, frontline throughput rises from ~2 to ~15 transactions, and 100 towns go live in 90 days.
