A background check approves the driver. The Driver Score knows them.

The Driver Score is the vertical product of Risk Scoring applied to the driver: the quantification of a driver's risk — owned, contracted or third-party — in a graded, explainable score. In a single analysis it answers the questions that decide a cargo operation: is this driver who they claim to be? Are they truly licensed? What do history and ties reveal? And how do they actually drive, trip after trip? It is the engine that decides hiring of contracted drivers, releases the shipment, calibrates fleet coaching and — in the Move Brasil vision — opens access to credit and benefits for the good driver.

The score is built in five layers. Identity confirms the real person — tax ID, biometrics and provenance — and blocks onboarding fraud at the door. Licensing validates the driver's license at source: authenticity, correct category, points and suspension history, not a photo of the document. History applies the records under the basis expressly recognized by the labor court for cargo drivers, the relevant lawsuits and incidents, always with proportionality and a data-protection trail. Ties open the corporate and relational graph — the facilitator layer, the connection to cargo events that no background check sees. And real driving brings behavioral telemetry: braking, speed, fatigue patterns — how they drive, updated every trip.

The ties layer and method-driven verification answer a concrete cost. Brazil records roughly 8,570 cargo-theft incidents a year, with nearly R$ 1 billion in losses, and the inside facilitator is the vector of planned theft — the agent a background check never sees because they are inside the operation itself. At the same time, the unprofiled high-risk driver only surfaces at the accident, adding human, legal and brand cost. And checking records without method, even under the legitimate basis, becomes a labor liability. The Driver Score tackles all three: the graph reveals the facilitator, telemetry anticipates the accident, and the codified doctrine turns risk verification into protection.

The Driver Score has a dual face: it protects the operation AND rewards the good driver. The professional with a high score loads faster, accesses better freight and — in the Move Brasil vision — builds, through their own conduct, the asset the credit market never knew how to read. The score is not surveillance: it is the objective résumé of the profession, with transparency and a right to review. In the market, the integrated score — identity + licensing + history + ties + driving — does not exist as a product: risk managers and bureaus run the registry model, and telemetry lives isolated in fleet reports. It is the category with no owner, and Kavuka holds the layers no one else combines — the corporate graph, the identity provenance, the codified legal basis and integrated telemetry — to name the term the sector will use.
