Walaya
White Paper · Talent & Marketplaces

Discover who can do the work — and who you can trust.

A global discovery and evidence-backed reputation marketplace connecting organizations, professionals, jobs, and ideas — with a hand-built 3D discovery globe, an AI quality gate that fails safe to human review, and a real signed-token video layer already running in production.

Finding capable organizations and professionals across borders still relies on fragmented directories, informal networks, and reputation nobody can verify. Evolved from the AllSoftwareHouses concept into a broader product, Walaya is built to make discovery and trust global, searchable, and backed by evidence rather than a five-star average nobody can check.

Walaya connects organizations, professionals, employers, and investors through verified discovery and full marketplace loops for jobs, B2B requirements, catalogs, and ideas — with an AI quality gate keeping the idea marketplace from filling with low-effort or duplicate submissions, and evidence-backed ratings instead of unverifiable star reviews.

A substantial, genuinely built application, with several pieces of real infrastructure behind the marketing claims:

  • Global map discovery — a from-scratch Fibonacci-lattice 3D globe rendered on canvas, not a Mapbox or Google Maps embed, with drag-to-rotate and hover markers.
  • An AI quality gate for the ideas marketplace — a deterministic pre-screen (missing fields, duplicate titles) followed by a structured Gemini risk/quality assessment; a submission that fails the AI check or the API call itself is queued for human review rather than silently passing or failing.
  • Real video calling — a hand-minted, HMAC-signed LiveKit token issued only after a Postgres row-level-security policy authorizes the caller, used for interviews and training sessions, with webhook-driven recording support.
  • Fifteen transactional notification functions covering job-application status, position-claim decisions, and verification outcomes — a real notification pipeline, not UI toasts.
  • A full marketplace surface: organization and professional directories, an org chart with position claims, a jobs and hiring flow, a B2B requirements marketplace, and an ideas/investor flow — backed by a genuinely large relational schema.

Planned to extend what's already live:

  • Deeper match-explanation scoring for jobs and requirements, building on today's UI-level match indicators.
  • Broader localization — current UI translation coverage is partial; Arabic is not yet included despite MENA-market positioning.
  • Subscription billing and featured listings, and structured certifications.
  • Broader industry verticals beyond the current technology-and-software focus.
  • Software houses and tech firms wanting global, verifiable discovery.
  • Professionals and freelancers building an evidence-backed reputation.
  • Hiring managers, founders, and investors evaluating organizations and ideas.

React 19 + Vite client, Supabase (Postgres, 16 Edge Functions), LiveKit for video, Gemini for AI quality gating. Stage: MVP Live — the discovery, marketplace, and video infrastructure are real and running; localization and monetization are the near-term roadmap.
