Questions

Before you apply.

Is this a census of African companies?

No. It covers the companies Konexium has indexed and checked, a defined sample that grows each quarter. The methods file says how each number is computed.

Can I use it to clear a company for compliance?

No. Releases are quarterly snapshots for research. For a live check of one company, use Konexium itself.

My academic project has commercial funding. Which tier?

Commercial research. Funding from a company that will use the results makes the use commercial.

Why are some numbers blank?

Counts under 10 are withheld, and small countries are grouped together, so no single company can be identified from the statistics.
