Kiota pilot report
Signups fell back to 170 once the launch surge passed, but spending went the other way. 47 people bought something, up from 38, and they spent R1 986 against week one's R1 589. The median wait between paying and collecting halved to 18 minutes.
Adoption
Week one was a launch spike. Week two is the underlying rate: between 20 and 34 accounts on every day except Sunday, which produced 9. 46 different members brought someone in, down from 114, so the recruiting narrowed to a smaller core.
Accounts opened per day
Sunday is the quiet day in both weeks. Saturdays hold up.
Referral engine
168 of the week's 170 accounts came in on a referral link. Corneluis Engelbrecht and Louise Williams were the two biggest onboarders in week one as well, and between them they brought in 44 of the 170.

Read before quoting
Nothing in the database is tagged Delft. Merchants carry no location field, and communities only became a concept on 23 July, inside this window. These are platform-wide figures. Call it "the pilot", not "Delft only".
Home Of Compassion Ministries took R640 from a single buyer across two orders, 32% of the week's value. Strip it out and week two's spend is R1 345.80, below week one. Quote the total, but expect the question.
170 accounts were created; 84 are verified. Use the same definition across all three weeks or the trend line is meaningless.
