Evidence-based decision infrastructure for African investment due diligence. Regional risk matrices. Stakeholder mapping tools. Exit strategy calculators. Now including critical minerals, AfCFTA structuring, and Gulf State dynamics. Built from extensive field research and practitioner experience.
16 modules. 16 interactive tools. Lifetime access. One-time payment.
Formal permits ≠ operations start. Multi-layer gatekeepers (national, county, community) all have veto power. Your stakeholder map is incomplete.
85% of West Africa's economy is informal. Not chaos — organized networks. Your formal-only model misses 80% of the market.
Legal pluralism: state titles + customary authority coexist. Formal title reduces risk but doesn't eliminate boundary disputes, multiple claimants.
Egypt March 2024: 30→50 EGP/USD wipes equity returns. Your IRR model doesn't account for forex transfer delays and capital controls.
5-year exit often unrealistic. Nigeria: repatriation requires official channel import documentation. Your exit timeline is fiction.
Premium markets exist (EU pays €5/kg for organic). Farmers avoid them rationally. Your "teach organic" project fails without transition finance.
Africa holds $29.5 trillion in mineral value. Captures 5-8% of it. Chinese SOEs control midstream. Your extraction-only model replicates the colonial pattern — and loses to Beijing on price.
Each blind spot gets: mechanism analysis, regional patterns, red/green flags, due diligence checklists. Now including Critical Minerals (Module 16), Gulf State dynamics, and AfCFTA investor structuring. Not opinions — documented.
West ≠ East ≠ North ≠ South. Same blind spots, different intensity. Interactive diagnostic tool shows which risks hit hardest for your context.
Stakeholder mapping templates. Bio transition calculator (Excel). Premium price comparisons. Decision path diagrams. Use immediately.
Built from practitioner experience spanning investment advisory, field research, and institutional development work across Africa. Evidence-based — not academic theory.
