Strategic Vision
Core Thesis
The 10-year compounding play
Active
Build the most comprehensive structured intelligence database in security detection that exists outside of government. Compound operational knowledge over 10 years into a capital asset that generates recurring revenue, powers trade execution services, and represents an acquisition target.
Deep vertical expertise + structured intelligence platform + operational trade execution. No other entity combines all three.
Every intelligence article published, every FlowSpex engagement completed, and every market signal captured feeds the database. The asset compounds daily.
Brand Architecture
Client-facing funnel
Client discovers vertical platform
radiation-monitor / pids-monitor / cbrne-monitor / cuas-monitor
↓
Client needs trade execution
FlowSpex — cross-border trade execution for deep-tech

Everything powered by Vectis Intelligence
Invisible to client — unified data architecture + operational backbone

HS code engine, client portal, semantic search, tiered FlowSpex pricing, all 4 monitor sites active
Phase 5
Scale & Optimize
Years 3-5
Full team (5-7), semi-automated FlowSpex, subscription revenue, data licensing conversations
Phase 6
Compound & Position
Years 5-10
Decade of structured intel, platform as infrastructure, founder shifts to strategic, positioned for acquisition

Competitive Landscape
Why nobody else does this
Trade Intel Platforms
Sayari, Kharon, C4ADS
Broad coverage, no vertical depth. Answer "is this entity sanctioned?" not "what's the best compliance pathway?"
Compliance Software
Descartes, e2open
Generic tools — help fill forms but don't know which forms you need for security detection
Specialist Consultants
Individual experts
Deep expertise, no platform, no structured data. Knowledge disappears when they retire.
Industry Publications
NEI, CBRNE Central
Content without structure. No entity tracking, no trade execution, no temporal depth.
Go-to-Market
The Swiss Advantage
Structural competitive moats
→
Faster Export Licensing
SECO: 4-6 weeks vs EU: 3-6 months. Re-routing through Switzerland saves months.
→
Neutrality
Swiss domicile enables serving destinations US/EU competitors face restrictions on.
→
International Geneva
Proximity to IAEA, CTBTO, WTO — the organizations setting regulatory frameworks.
→
ETH/EPFL Ecosystem
Technical talent, deep-tech companies, research credibility.
→
Data Jurisdiction
Swiss data protection standards provide comfort for commercially sensitive trade data.
GTM Strategy
Swiss deep-tech ecosystem primary channel
Deep-Tech Demo Days & Events
Zurich: Venture Kick, Innosuisse, Switzerland Innovation. Attend as service provider solving export headaches.
Direct Network Outreach
20+ years in Swiss controlled technology exports = extensive personal network. Highest-conversion channel.
Intelligence Platforms as Lead Gen
Published content establishes credibility. Company researches their landscape → finds monitor site → discovers FlowSpex.
Primary Client Profile
Swiss/EU deep-tech companies (10-200 employees), building controlled tech, beginning international exports. Export control = bottleneck to remove.

Exit Strategy & Immediate Actions
Exit Horizon: 2035-2036
CHF 5-20M range at 5-10x revenue
10yr
2026 — Now
Build foundation. Start entering data. Every day of delay = intelligence not captured.
2028 — Year 3
Scale decision point. CHF 300-500K revenue. Full team operational.
2031 — Year 5
CHF 500K-1M revenue. 60-70% margins. Database = significant standalone asset.
2035-2036 — Exit
Decade of structured intelligence. Platform operating independently. Positioned for strategic acquisition.
Target: CHF 5-20M
Likely Acquirers
Trade intel platforms (Sayari, Kharon) • Defense intel firms • Large logistics (K+N, DHL, DSV) • Compliance software (Descartes, e2open) • Private equity roll-up
Immediate Next Steps
Phase 1 priorities
Now
1
Finalize database schema. Review entity model. Hand to Cursor for PostgreSQL implementation.
2
Set up infrastructure. PostgreSQL on Supabase or Swiss-hosted equivalent. FastAPI endpoints.
3
Seed 50 records manually. 20-30 vendors, key products, top country profiles. Forces schema refinement.
4
Connect content pipeline. Route GitHub Actions output into database, not just content.
5
Complete 2-3 FlowSpex engagements. Personal network. Document every step as structured data.
6
Onboard senior hire. Align on roles. Begin logistics knowledge encoding into database.
7
Scope junior hire. Define role, begin recruitment for database maintenance + content pipeline.
8
Establish Zurich presence. Identify demo days, meetups, events. Begin attending as FlowSpex.
