User request (October 2026): an interactive business plan calculator
where the plant configuration is chosen and everything follows. Built
into the fleet calculator (same page and URL, one model):
- Plant configuration card: galvanics in-house or bought stampers (and
Pheenix estimate vs OMS reference), mastering and cutting in-house or
outsourced, metrology full or launch tier, cassette and CD-R, solar
buy / PPA / none, electric or biomass steam, Thai or Chinese utilities,
crane buy or rent, visitor corridor now or later, ramp-up reserve;
stamper supply to other plants; disabled-not-hidden controls.
- Investment built from the total-investment blocks (low / mid / high,
sources and kind badges); boiler and chiller modules sized from the
fleet and flagged past the four positions; phase 2 building past the
870 m2 press hall. Default reproduces 160.9 / 226.7 / 292.5M THB.
- Budget card against 180M and 216M THB; "Investor levers" preset gives
193.6M mid, 203.6 to 213.6M with the reserve.
- Money follows the configuration: outsourced title steps passed through
at cost (fee split 51.1 / 37.0 / 11.9 %), electric steam energy and
demand charge, PPA power price, optional cassette/CD-R revenue.
- Ten-year cash view: editable ramp and discount rate, payback, NPV, IRR,
chart and table; pre-tax, pre-financing sketch.
- Presets: launch plant, investor levers, lean, five-press, full hall.
- Verified headless on Edge: 62 checks, 390 / 1024 / 1440 px, dark and
light, no overflow, no page errors.
Business plan 9.4 cross-check updated to the calculator's figures
(EBITDA 1.68M, payback 4.1 yr; cash payback year ~5.7, IRR ~13 %);
docx and pdf rebuilt. README and landing entry renamed.
The investor business plan (docx + pdf) rebuilt for the launch plant
decided in October 2026: one Duplex system and one Classic, Pheenix
galvanics with zero discharge, the Sibert line, a Sillitoe cutting room,
modular steam and cooling (rooms for four), cassette and CD-R; no bridge
stampers, no outsourced cutting; second Duplex as a growth option.
- Part A: executive summary (what changed since 0.1, the numbers, the
180M / 216M answer, first release marked open), reading guide, two
price points (ResurRec and Record Industry), anatomy rewritten for
Sillitoe, Pheenix, Sibert, Duplex + Classic, lead times without bridge
stampers, new 4.8 artist platform, cassette 4.9, CD 4.10.
- Part B: traceability with ERPNext as system of record, metrology launch
tier as the investor's choice, QC, efficiency (PEA tariff, utility
modules, fuel open, Chinese boilers and DIW rules), site (Mueang Chi,
Payap zoning result), building blocks, safety, BOI and licences with
galvanics in the first factory licence.
- Part C: launch-plant investment table, the investor's question and
levers, tranches, currency, operating picture of the launch plant,
timeline with the metal path on the critical path, commissioning
sequence and why the whole chain at launch, team, 22 risks, 17 phase 0
actions, the ask.
- plan_lib: grid column widths so LibreOffice keeps table widths.
- export_pdf.py: LibreOffice UNO export that fills the table of
contents (47 pages).
- README: total investment, revenue model and business plan bullets.
The docs and the plant page had labelling as a finishing step after the
press. On a record press the bottom label, the cake and the top label go
in between the stampers every cycle and the mold bonds the paper into the
vinyl; the oven only pre-dries them. Corrected everywhere the process is
described:
- process-flow.md: labels are a parallel input to pressing with their own
row (print inspection, oven, lot per cycle); stage 6 loads label, cake,
label; stage 7 is trim, sleeve, shrink
- process-flow.drawio (+ regenerated png/pdf): label input now feeds
stage 6, not stage 7
- README vision list and the business plan source (regenerated docx/pdf):
pressing paragraph explains the pressed-in label, finishing no longer
claims to label
- plant-operation.html: label dry oven station feeds two label discs
into the press with every cake, the cake in the mold shows its labels,
the cycle log records the label lot, finishing is sleeve + shrink
Leased land instead of purchase, in-house cassette duplication, CD-R
duplication with CD replication shown as a separate investor decision,
Ploy Printing as packaging partner and intended co-investor, and a
dedicated section on traceability, metrology, QC and efficiency.
