A country report does not add up a score. It reads the ecosystem as a cultivated order: the soil (rule enforcement) conditions what the seed (actors present) and the gardener (built support) can produce — then measures the meta-organization, gender inclusion and the AEEI pillars on the same grid.
Enforcement 0.42 (rules enforced); built support 12 %, base endowment 80 %; 7 % of actors created by the State or donors; 2 urban modules on 242 actors. Expected creation 4.0 new firms per 1,000 adults under the current, enforced regime: the soil already lets the seed and the gardener pay off.
Coverage CI 100 % (world 100 %); functional differentiation FDI 0.48 (world 0.88); service redundancy SRI 1.54 (world 2.00); VRIO coverage 0.22 (world 0.21); effectiveness EES 0.64 (world 0.72); network density 0.244. The report then applies the readings — resilience-adjusted redundancy, governance vs endowment, form vs substance, three-mechanism index — to Botswana.
AGI 36/100 (economic 64, social 27, representation 17), rank 49 / 53 in Africa and 161 / 176 globally; 1 women-focused structures out of 245 actors (4.1 ‰). Read next to the continental picture: mean 49, social dimension weakest (19/100), economic strongest (64/100).
Composite 2.78 / 7, rank 9 / 30, percentile 28 (top tier). Strengths: physical infrastructure (0.75, +0.39 vs mean), formal institutions (0.68), talent & knowledge (0.59, +0.27 vs mean). Weaknesses: culture (0.12), demand (0.14). Each pillar is sorted into Soil, Seed, Gardener or Environment and read conditionally on enforcement.
Botswana scored on the ten entrepreneurial-ecosystem elements (Stam & van de Ven, 2021), grouped into 7 pillars and re-read through the COTEE framework on Expert.
On Expert, the AEEI elements are sorted into COTEE layers — Soil (rules), Seed (contents), Gardener (apparatus) — and read conditionally: contents only pay off where rules bind.
