Coverage
A country-by-country rollout.
Arbitra is rolling out across the OHADA area step by step, starting with one deep pilot rather than a broad, shallow launch. An incomplete corpus announced as complete would do more harm than no corpus at all.

How a country is opened
Opening a country requires three conditions: stable access to the decisions of its national courts, structuring and quality control of the corpus, and at least one local firm involved in validating the first results.
Until those three conditions are met, the country is not announced as covered - even if documents concerning it already exist in the corpus.
Uniform law, everywhere
The uniform acts and CCJA case law apply across the whole OHADA area: that part of the corpus concerns every State, whatever the timetable for opening up national case law.
