Sound Familiar?
These are the questions that keep EDO directors up at night. The diagnostic tells you where you actually stand.
"We invest in talent — then they leave."
Brain drain isn't a marketing problem. The diagnostic reveals whether your ecosystem has the knowledge systems, capital access, and employer base to retain graduates — or if you're subsidizing talent for other regions.
"Our CEDS looks great. Nothing's changed."
The strategy-execution gap is usually a coordination gap. The diagnostic shows which actors aren't connected and where your brokering efforts will have the most systemic impact.
"We can't articulate our differentiation to site selectors."
If you struggle to explain why a company should locate here over the next county, the ecosystem lacks a clear identity. The diagnostic identifies what actually differentiates your region — and what doesn't.
"The board wants ROI on our incentive spending."
Incentive packages are one tool. This diagnostic scores the entire system — are those investments creating conditions for compounding growth, or one-off wins?

- “Phase II→III is the bottleneck — ideas and talent are entering the system, but conversion to new ventures is stalling. Three accelerators within 40km aren’t connected to the university pipeline.”
- “Your workforce pipeline scores 3.8 but capital access scores 1.9 — talent is staying, but has nowhere local to deploy.”
