The support apparatus only pays off where rules are binding — inert as a main effect, powerful as a complement of the institutional regime.
Everything that is there: finance, talent, knowledge, the organizations counted in a registry. Necessary — never sufficient on its own.
A country's capacity to make its own rules bind (rule enforcement, World Governance Indicators 2023). The soil decides whether the seed yields anything.
Incubators, accelerators, programmes, agencies — the apparatus. A multiplier where rules bind; close to inert as a main effect where they do not.
On Expert the framework page shows the seed · soil · gardener reading for any country, the cultivation plane, the Table 14 measures, the six Architecture × Substance readings, the H5 overlay gradient and a policy-maker reading — never summed, always conditional on enforcement.
Orchestrating is not conducting the orchestra — it is tuning the room.
53 African countries scored on three dimensions (economic, social, representation; 0–100), crossed with women-focused structures in the registry. Continental mean 49; social dimension weakest (19), economic strongest (63); East Africa leads (57), Maghreb lags (40). Interactive scatter and sort modes on Expert.
