Portfolio Distribution for Teams

It would be awesome to have a Portfolio Distribution Section for Teams, either under "Loans" or as a separate Tab, to see the patterns in lending for each team.

That's a good idea!  I think you should send that suggestion along to the Kiva email address

I really like this idea, too!!

Finally....someone with the same idea as me 

I have emailed contactus@kiva.org about this...some months ago...and got a reply saying they would look into it.

And I recently put a message up on the Kiva Captains Lending Team.

I figure if it's possible on our Lender pages, why can't it be done on the Team pages...?

Thanks for starting this thread...I hope we can get lots of posts to show our support for the idea.

I think a lot of the problem associated with additions such as this is the sheet processing power required.  Because some teams have thousands of members, you need to add up lots of individual member's data which is quite a big job as things go.

It is a real shame that there isn't much information available for teams, I'd love to know how my loans stack up against others (country, sector, sex etc).

If it were possible, I think a member rank would be a fantastic feature!  Can you imagine the competition within teams from trying to get in the top 10?  It would be simpler to implement than full statistics for the team and could be simplified to the top 10 if necessary.  I'm not sure if there are issues around advertising who are the large-scale lenders though.

Another thought, this might be better suited to a site like Kiva Data as all of this information should be available via the API.
