    IE COMPLEXITY LAYER · VINTAGE 2024
    No product currently sits close enough to this market’s export base to read as a credible next step. Concentrated export structures show exactly this pattern: of the 449 products assessed, even the nearest remain well outside current capability.
    Read that as a diagnosis, not a gap in the data. Diversification from here starts with building new capability rather than extending what already exists.
