Method
Transparent scoring, then an analyst’s explanation
1 · Structural fit
Each market is scored 0–10 on regulatory quality, tax, openness to foreign investment, political stability, infrastructure and talent. We weight these by what you’re trying to do.
2 · Your constraints
Sector priorities, current-conditions signals and your risk appetite adjust the score. A cost model estimates first-year spend for your team size.
3 · ARIA explains
ARIA writes why each market fits, the main risk and a concrete first move — then answers your follow-up questions.
