- One build makes both documents: plan_variant.py switches the
plan-specific text (pick / is_a / label); build_plan.py writes
CNX-Vinyl-Business-Plan-A and -B (docx), export_pdf.py exports both PDFs
with the table of contents filled in. Draft 0.2 (single launch-plant
plan with contingency) is removed; it stays in the history.
- Plan A: the launch plant with every machine and six cost levers, ~177M
THB with the ramp-up reserve, no contingency. Plan B: the second Duplex
at launch, five presses, ~224M THB on the same basis. Each version reads
as a complete plan with one table comparing it with the other; the
216M investor-question text is gone, Pheenix is priced at OMS's
reference plus 20 %.
- Calculator renders in both documents, each from its own preset: the
plant at a glance (Figure 4), the budget check (Figure 5) and ten years
of cash (Figure 6), in docs/renders/calculator/.
- Calculator budget card: the verdict and third KPI now name the tightest
budget the midpoint fits (Plan A: 3.3M to spare under 180M; Plan B:
0.8M under 225M) instead of always 225M.
- Fixes: CD replication cross-references point to section 4.10; the
blended price in section 3.3 and roadmap item 1 is 3.76 to 5.27 USD at
60 % specials (3.50 to 4.60 at a standard-heavy mix).
User (October 2026): "lets say 60+% special prints" (the plant focuses on
special prints, not mono colours).
- Specials (splatter, marble, colour effects) run only on the Duplex
systems, so at 60 % the Duplex sets the launch plant's output: ~0.58 /
0.74 / 0.90M records a year (was 0.71 / 0.84 / 0.97 at ~20 %), the
Classic at about two thirds load. Full 60/40 hall: ~2.3 to 3.6M (Duplex
-limited, Classics about half loaded); five-press fleet unchanged. A
hall balanced by output at 60 % would give Duplex ~70 to 75 % of the
floor (estimate; noted, not applied).
- Blended price 3.76 / 4.49 / 5.27 USD (standard 3.40 / 3.80 / 4.25 plus
the 0.60 / 1.15 / 1.70 specials premium on 60 %). Launch operating
picture: revenue 2.28 / 3.65 / 5.41M USD, EBITDA 0.23 / 1.73 / 3.79M,
operating profit -0.66 / 1.21 / 3.46M, payback ~3.8 yr central,
break-even ~0.25M records; adverse needs ~1.1M records to cover
depreciation. Specials' extra direct cost (coloured compound, purge,
trim only into black) is not in the cost table yet: flagged as an
upper bound until compound quotes.
- Calculator default specials share 20 -> 60 % (planning rates keep the
launch plant balanced at 850k: revenue 4.14M, EBITDA 2.07M, payback
3.3 yr, cash payback year ~4.8, IRR ~18 %).
- revenue-model.md, scale.md, pressing-line.md, README; business plan
draft 0.2 rebuilt (sections 1, 4, 9, risks).
Checks: calculator regression 0 fails, no page errors, node --check on
all scripts; PDF 47 pages, table of contents filled; no em dashes added.
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.
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.
