Green Sole translates world-class computer science and CFA-grade financial modelling into actionable intelligence — for every farmer, from Del Monte to your corner plot.
Green Sole scales intelligently — the same core AI adapts its outputs to match the complexity, data, and resources of each user type.
Given limited land and capital, which combination of crops maximises total profit? This is the classic NP-hard 0/1 Knapsack problem — every farmer solves it intuitively, Green Sole solves it optimally.
| Crop | Acres Required | Capital (KES) | Expected Profit (KES) | Profit/Acre |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A · Maize | 20 | 50,000 | 60,000 | 3,000/ac |
| B · Tomatoes | 15 | 70,000 | 90,000 | 6,000/ac |
| C · Beans | 30 | 40,000 | 50,000 | 1,667/ac |
| D · Wheat | 25 | 60,000 | 75,000 | 3,000/ac |
We build a table dp[i][w] = max profit using first i crops with weight (land) capacity w.
Why it's powerful: instead of checking 2ⁿ combinations (brute force: 16 for 4 crops, millions for 20+ crops), DP fills the table in O(n × W) — linear in number of crops × land units.
// Crops: [name, acres, capital, profit] const crops = [ ['Maize', 20, 50000, 60000], ['Tomatoes', 15, 70000, 90000], ['Beans', 30, 40000, 50000], ['Wheat', 25, 60000, 75000], ]; const maxAcres = 50; const maxCapital = 150000; // 3D DP: dp[i][a][c] = max profit using first i crops, // a acres capacity, c capital capacity function knapsack(crops, maxA, maxC) { const n = crops.length; // Using simplified capital in thousands for table size const cScale = 10000; const mC = maxC / cScale; let dp = Array.from({length: maxA + 1}, () => new Array(mC + 1).fill(0)); for (const [name, acres, cap, profit] of crops) { const c = cap / cScale; // Traverse backwards to maintain 0/1 property for (let a = maxA; a >= acres; a--) { for (let k = mC; k >= c; k--) { dp[a][k] = Math.max( dp[a][k], profit + dp[a - acres][k - c] ); } } } return dp[maxA][mC]; // → 165,000 } console.log(knapsack(crops, 50, 150000)); // → 165000 ✅ (Tomatoes + Wheat)
A 3-season moving average smooths volatility and reveals whether yields are trending up or down — critical for investment timing and planting decisions.
// O(n) sliding window — no nested loops needed function movingAverage(yields, k) { if (yields.length < k) return []; const result = []; let windowSum = 0; // Prime the first window for (let i = 0; i < k; i++) windowSum += yields[i]; result.push(+(windowSum / k).toFixed(2)); // Slide: add next, drop first — O(1) per step for (let i = k; i < yields.length; i++) { windowSum += yields[i] - yields[i - k]; result.push(+(windowSum / k).toFixed(2)); } return result; } const yields = [3.2,2.8,4.1,4.8,3.6,5.2,4.9,5.5]; console.log(movingAverage(yields, 3)); // → [3.37, 3.90, 4.17, 4.53, 4.57, 5.20] ✅
At what output volume does Green Sole's farmer cover all costs? Break-even analysis is the first gate every viable farm must pass — it answers the question before a seed is planted.
| Item | Type | Amount (KES) | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Land Lease + Equipment | Fixed | 120,000 | Per season |
| Labour (fixed portion) | Fixed | 60,000 | Per season |
| Total Fixed Costs (FC) | 180,000 | ||
| Seeds, fertiliser, water | Variable | 15 / unit | Per kg tomato |
| Selling Price | Revenue | 45 / unit | Per kg tomato |
WACC is the minimum return a farm investment must generate to satisfy both its equity investors and debt holders. It is the true hurdle rate — and the heart of CFA capital budgeting.
| Source | Amount (KES) | Weight | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equity (shareholders) | 300,000 | 60% (Wₑ) | Kₑ = 18% |
| Debt (bank loan) | 200,000 | 40% (Wd) | Kd = 12% |
| Total Capital (V) | 500,000 |
Two complementary metrics: Payback tells you when you recover your investment. The Profitability Index tells you how much value each shilling deployed generates.
