Cultivated Order Theory of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: Seed (contents), Soil (rule enforcement), Gardener (apparatus). See where deliberate support actually multiplies venture creation — and where it stays inert.
Women's inclusion across the ecosystem — an AGI-aligned index (economic, social, representation) crossed with women-focused support supply. Built for UNECA / AfDB-grade reporting.
The Africa Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Index — 54 countries scored on Stam's ten elements — interfaced live and re-read through COTEE's layers, on every country profile and in the framework.
A conditional, never-summed reading: the cultivation interaction (apparatus × enforcement), a 2×2 action matrix, targeted recommendations and the overlay-gradient hypothesis (H1–H5).
Most rankings add elements into a single score. COTEE does the opposite: it sorts an ecosystem into three layers and reads them conditionally. Deliberate support is a multiplier only where rules are enforced — and close to inert where they are not.
Finance, talent, knowledge. Necessary — never sufficient on their own.
Formal institutions and culture. The soil decides whether contents yield anything.
Incubators, agencies, programs. A multiplier where rules bind; an overlay risk where they do not.
Where rules bind, deliberate apparatus more than doubles predicted new-firm entry (7.48 vs 3.16). Where they do not, it adds almost nothing (1.37 vs 1.53). That conditionality — not a leaderboard — is what guides where to act first.
Peer-reviewed: “The Seed, the Soil and the Gardener” (Guéneau). AEEI elements (Stam & van de Ven, 2021) are the measured inputs.
