Open-source, field & primary research Confidence-rated judgments Ethiopia-specific reading Handled with discretion
01Positioning

Ethiopia offers real opportunity, and the decisions it asks for are not simple. Political, regulatory, security, stakeholder, and operational conditions all bear on the outcome.

We help organizations understand those conditions before they commit capital, launch programs, choose partners, or move into a sensitive setting.

Built in Addis Ababa, for organizations working across Ethiopia.

Being based here keeps our reading close to the institutions, stakeholders, and conditions that shape outcomes, and keeps the advice grounded in local context rather than imported assumptions.

Structured judgment for uncertain settings.

We keep a clear line between what is known, what is assessed, and what remains uncertain.

01

Frame the decision

We start from the decision you actually face: the commitment, the timing, and what would change your mind.

02

Map the operating context

Open-source, field, and primary research builds a grounded picture of the environment around that decision.

03

Identify the risks

Political, regulatory, security, operational, reputational, stakeholder, market, and access risks are each looked at in turn.

Let's talk about the decision in front of you.
