Strategic move
Build a verified ecosystem before a plugin runtime
The right first version is a trusted marketplace for partner-hosted apps, telecom connectors, AI tools, and vertical solution packs. That gives AfriRoute distribution, monetization, and ecosystem lock-in without the operational risk of executing arbitrary third-party code.

Start with trusted installs, not uploaded runtime code
The safest first version is a verified registry for hosted partner integrations with scoped installs, webhooks, and API access.
Use the marketplace to grow API usage, not only direct app revenue
Revenue share matters, but the larger value is higher retention, more integrations per tenant, and deeper platform dependency.
Review and compliance are part of the product
Telecom, fintech, and public-sector integrations need security review, support contacts, and clear operating expectations before they are trusted.
