Business model

Recurring software revenue, earned through verified outcomes

No revenue has been recognised and no pricing is contracted. The following describes the intended commercial model, which will be refined through the first supervised deployments.

Revenue streams

Platform subscription

Intended — pricing not set

Recurring licence priced by connected cooling capacity and number of sites. Intended to be the dominant revenue line.

Onboarding engagement

Intended

One-off instrumentation review, data integration and baseline establishment at the start of a deployment.

Performance-linked component

Under consideration

A share of verified energy or peak reduction, contingent on measurement and verification maturity and operator appetite.

Pilot engagements

Route to first revenue

Paid or grant-funded supervised pilots that convert to subscription on successful verification.

Why the unit economics should work

The platform is software over data an operator already produces. There is no hardware to finance and no plant to replace.

  • One deployment pattern reused across sites within the same operator
  • Marginal cost per additional site is compute and support, not capital
  • Advisory-only scope shortens procurement and safety review
  • Verification evidence from early sites becomes the sales asset for the next
  • Concentrated market: a small number of operators cover very large loads
  • Expansion within an account by capacity, not by seat count

Route to market

Grant-supported and research-partnered pilots first, then reference-led expansion with the same operators, then regional partners.
