Screen the parcel before you commit. Watch it for as long as you hold it.
Before you buy, lend, or advise on Kenyan land, ArdhiScore screens the parcel against the public record and your own documents — cites every finding to its source, shows exactly what still needs official verification, and then keeps watching that parcel on a set schedule so a slow problem doesn't become an irreversible loss.
It supplements the official record and complements your lawyer's work — it never replaces the registrar.

Risk profile with sources, gaps, and reasons
The blind spot
A title deed is essential. It is not the whole story.
Court disputes, Gazette notices, identifier conflicts, and other risk signals can sit outside a standard title review. ArdhiScore brings covered signals together so you can see what was found, what remains unresolved, and what needs official or professional follow-up.
Score inputs
One parcel. One evolving evidence record.
ArdhiScore creates a golden record for the parcel: a dated view of identifiers, claims, evidence, source references, confidence, and change over time. New findings update the record instead of disappearing inside another one-time report.
Litigation & court records
Active suits, injunctions and historical disputes tied to the parcel, including ELC filings a registry search never surfaces.
Learn moreGazette & public notices
Compulsory-acquisition orders, revocation notices and government publications that quietly change what a parcel is worth.
Learn moreTitle identity & integrity
LR, IR, deed and block/plot identifiers cross-checked across independent sources, so the title you see is the title that exists.
Learn moreOwnership chain & party risk
Every party in the ownership chain, historical transfers, and directorship patterns that signal fraud risk.
Learn moreEncumbrances
Charges, cautions, caveats and arrears, including ones recorded outside the registry and easy to miss.
Learn moreAI legal intelligence
AI reads, matches, and cites.
ArdhiScore uses AI-assisted matching to connect parcel identifiers with the court, Gazette, and public-record sources it covers. Reported matches carry source references so the evidence can be reviewed before anyone acts.
Legal intelligence that can show its work
Identifier matching, document extraction, and cross-source analysis help surface relevant signals. The report preserves the source, confidence, and unresolved questions instead of hiding them behind an AI answer.
The score is the summary. The evidence is the product.
The 0–1000 screening index comes with reason codes, source references, evidence gaps, and unresolved conditions. It supports a decision; it does not certify title or direct someone to buy, lend, or approve.

Land risk does not stop when the report is issued.
Put a parcel on watch. ArdhiScore runs scheduled checks across covered sources and updates the parcel record when it detects a relevant change. Alert timing depends on source availability and service conditions.
Watch what changes
Scheduled checks look for relevant new court, Gazette, registry, and parcel-identity signals.

Intelligence that shows its work
AI-assisted matching
Parcel identifiers are checked against the covered court, Gazette, and other public-record sources listed in the methodology.
Evidence beyond one search
The parcel record brings together relevant public-record signals, identifier checks, and unresolved evidence gaps.
Sources beside findings
Reported findings include the available source reference so a person can review the evidence before acting.
Built on the Litmus platform
ArdhiScore runs on Litmus, collateral-intelligence infrastructure designed for Kenyan land records and workflows.
The intelligence layer for land, without pretending to be the registry, your advocate, or your valuer.
ArdhiScore does not issue legal opinions, value property, approve credit, certify title, or guarantee that hidden risk does not exist.
See what we do and refuse to doDecision moments
Three parcels. One number that changed the decision.
Illustrative scenarios, not customer case studies.
The parcel had already been sold
A Kenyan in the UK was ready to wire payment for a plot in Kajiado. The title looked clean. ArdhiScore surfaced an active court case and a second transfer registered three months earlier: the same parcel, sold to someone else.
A gazette order made the collateral worthless
A SACCO ran a standard search before approving a land-secured loan. The title was clean. ArdhiScore found a compulsory-acquisition notice gazetted six months earlier, a government order that hard-capped the score.
Documented for the file
After the 2025 Supreme Court ruling, a Nairobi conveyancing firm made ArdhiScore standard. Each report is a signed, source-cited audit trail their partners use to satisfy their professional obligation.
