COIITM.
The instrument we use to see your business.
COII is Crimson Oak's proprietary framework for measuring how close an African business is to being institution grade and investable. Eight dimensions. Thirty two signals. A single, defensible score we've refined across every engagement we've led.
Every plan we write, every capital raise we structure, every board we shape, begins here.
