OSE Galaxy
For Embassies & Bilateral

Brief your minister with the measured picture.

Delegations are briefed on desk research that is a year old. OSE gives you the live country reading — profile, modules, gender and AEEI position — comparable with your own country and with your partner's neighbours.

The issue

Bilateral cooperation runs on two truths and one stale study.

Each side measures its ecosystem its own way; the joint feasibility study is eighteen months old at signature; and once the programme launches there is no neutral yardstick to say whether it catalysed anything.

  • Ministerial visits briefed on partial, dated information.
  • Cooperation budgets without a measurable counterfactual.
  • Bilateral chambers asking for ecosystem dossiers that no one has.
  • No shared reference between the two ministries once the programme is live.
What OSE measures for you

Measured on the live base — never declared.

A worked country reading

Enforcement regime, built support vs. base endowment, share of state- and donor-created actors, number of city modules, predicted creation now and if rules were enforced — for both sides of the corridor.

AEEI position

Composite score, rank among 30 ranked African countries, strengths and weaknesses across the 7 measured pillars of Stam's 10 elements.

Complementarities between two ecosystems

Where one country's strength (a layer, a boost, a community) fills the other's gap — the material of a cooperation programme that adds rather than duplicates.

Gender and inclusion lens

Aligned Gender Index and women-focused support density — increasingly a criterion in cooperation instruments.

Proof points

Three results that change the decision.

Published or replicated on the OSE database — the same numbers you will find in OSE Expert.

COTEE1.5 → 4

Morocco, read in one paragraph.

Enforcement −0.20 (rules weakly enforced), built support 31%, base endowment 63%, 21% of actors created by the state or donors, 8 city modules. Expected business creation 1.5 → 4 per 1,000 working-age adults if the rules were enforced. This is the paragraph your minister needs.

AEEI3.47/7

Where a partner country is strong, and where cooperation can add.

Morocco: composite 3.47/7, rank 3/30, percentile 7. Strengths: Talent & knowledge (0.77), Physical infrastructure (0.68), Finance (0.39). Weaknesses: Networks & intermediaries (0.18), Demand (0.26) — the pillars a cooperation programme can target.

Meta-orgR² 0.2

Ecosystem advantage is a governance achievement, not an endowment.

63 countries sit above the line their endowment would predict (R² 0.2). Cooperation that improves governance architecture can move a partner ecosystem — this is measurable before and after.

How it works

Three steps, no commitment before the first.

  1. 1

    Request a dossier

    Tell us the delegation's agenda; we read the country live in 30 minutes and scope the dossier.

  2. 2

    Brief and position

    Dossier delivered in three weeks; embassy seat on Expert for the team.

  3. 3

    Design the programme

    Joint roadmap with measurable indicators, both ministries reading the same data.

Next step

One framework for both sides of the corridor.

Thirty minutes to read your partner country live and scope the dossier your delegation needs.
