Ecosystem
One infrastructure,not a collectionof apps.
Scholastic Services runs schools. Vimera is the money layer. Nexus runs sport. The value is in how they connect: information entered once, money that follows the same identity, and providers who can find the people who need them.
The system
The shape of it.
The systems people use sit on top. Vimera is the financial layer beneath them. A shared hub, still to be named, lets everything exchange identity and records. Choose a system to see what it connects to.
Vimera
Financial and economic infrastructure
A unified economic operating system for Zimbabwe: personal money tools and a business counter in one app, built for the vendors, traders and small businesses that formal software has largely ignored. It is also the money layer the rest of Aetheris is being built toward.

Connections
What connects to what, and how real each connection is.
This is the vision for the infrastructure. Each connection carries its real status.
Showing 6 connections
Sport built on school identity
Schools, students and sports staff will come from Scholastic Services, so teams and players are not typed in twice. Scholastic Cards version 1 are the first building block: a revocable card with one safe scan contract that shows only a minimal overview. Nexus is not yet connected to version 1.
PlannedIdentity
Sellers reach schools from Vimera
A school-related seller will list on Vimera and appear in a Scholastic Services marketplace. Vimera version 1 has its marketplace switched off, so this connection waits on that.
PlannedCommerce
School finances powered by Vimera
Fees and deep school finances will live in Scholastic Services with payments and money movement running on Vimera. Scholastic Services version 1 does not include finance yet.
PlannedMoney
Pocket money and personal money
Students and parents will hold, send and spend personal money in Vimera, tied to the student's Scholastic identity. Vimera version 1 already handles personal money; the link to Scholastic is not built.
PlannedMoney
Schools as organisations on Vimera
Schools will appear on Vimera as organisations and potential customers, so providers can find and serve them.
PlannedCommerce
Sport's money and services on Vimera
Payments and money movement for sport will run on Vimera, and sporting equipment and coaches will be found there.

Design rules
How the systems share without becoming one tangle.
One source of truth per kind of data
Each kind of information has one owner. Other products ask the owner instead of keeping a copy that can drift.
- Schools, students and staffScholastic Services
- Money, products, sellers and ordersVimera
- Competitions, fixtures and scoresNexus
Share what is needed, nothing more
Products talk through signed server-to-server calls, never by reaching into one another's databases. A partner receives only the fields its job requires. Nexus, for example, needs sport eligibility, not grades, fees, addresses or medical records.
Honest state
If a connection is not live, the product says so. Nothing is shown as confirmed that has only been queued or assumed. That is why this page labels every connection Live, In development or Planned.
