## Slide 1: Executive Overview
* **Proposal:** Komatsu 2030 - Dirt-to-Data.
* **Vision:** The Operating System for every worksite on Earth.
* **Context:** NUS Business School academic pitch.

## Slide 2: The Problem & The Pivot
* **Problem:** Shrinking margins on hardware vs. low-cost Chinese competitors.
* **The Move:** Shift from selling machines to multi-year 'tonnes-moved' contracts.
* **Financial Goal:** $2.6B incremental platform revenue by 2030 with a 58% gross margin.

## Slide 3: Competitive Landscape
* **Challenge:** XCMG and Sany own 30% market share by price; Caterpillar leads in software ecosytems (MineStar).
* **Strategy:** Win at the platform layer, not the equipment layer.

## Slide 4: Strategic PESTEL Analysis
* **Social:** Global labor shortages (500k in North America) make autonomy essential.
* **Regulatory:** EU CBAM and IFRS S2 create a need for audited carbon-per-tonne data.

## Slide 5: Whitespace Opportunity
* **Differentiation:** Competitors sell machines; Komatsu proposes selling 'Certified Outcomes' (tonnes moved at specific carbon intensities).

## Slide 6: B2B Persona Engagement
* Targeting 7 key roles including Mine GMs (production targets), CFOs (opex vs capex), and CSOs (audit-ready carbon reporting).

## Slide 7: Business Model Shift
* Moving to a 'Power-by-the-Hour' model similar to Rolls-Royce.
* Komatsu retains machine ownership and risk; customers pay for certified performance.

## Slide 8: Margin Stack
* **L1 (Machines):** 10-15% margin.
* **L3/L4 (Site OS & Outcome Service):** 40-70% margin potential.

## Slide 9: Geographic Roadmap
* **Phase 1 (2026-27):** Australia and Chile (Mining lighthouses).
* **Phase 2 (2027-28):** India and Indonesia (Infrastructure).
* **Phase 3 (2028-30):** USA and EU (CBAM compliance focus).

## Slide 10: 2030 Business Model Canvas
* **Revenue:** Outcome subscriptions, platform fees, and carbon-credit sharing.
* **Partners:** NTT (5G), AWS/Azure (Cloud), and SGS/DNV (Audit).

## Slide 11-13: Marketing & KPIs
* **Budget:** $30M total marketing spend.
* **Strategy:** GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) over SEO.
* **KPIs:** Targeting 480M carbon-certified tonnes moved by 2030.

## Slide 14: Risk Management
* Focus on cyber-by-design (IEC 62443) and sovereign data residency to mitigate security risks.

## Slide 16-22: Technical Appendix
* Detailed comparison between Site OS and traditional hardware leasing.
* Cyber-security pillars including zero-trust segmentation and quantum-safe roadmaps.
* Financial assumptions based on Pilbara haulage cost disclosures (~$1.20/t).
