The programme runs across three phases over 84 months, sequenced so that a proven, profitable Pretoria base precedes the Series B, fleet expansion and regional growth. The critical path runs through Series A close and licensing → depot, dispatch and workshop setup → fleet acquisition and GPS deployment → water-source agreements and supplier-database registration → operations launch → contract wins and utilisation → Series B → fleet expansion and diversification → regional expansion.

Analyst flagLicensing, water sourcing, contracts and the Series B are the critical-path items
Four dependencies gate the plan. First, licensing, compliance and insurance, without which a compliant water-logistics operator cannot credibly trade. Second, reliable water-source agreements, without which the fleet has nothing to deliver. Third, contract wins and fleet utilisation, which drive the whole ramp. Fourth, the Series B raise, gated on demonstrated Phase-I traction, which funds the fleet and regional expansion. The roadmap sequences these so that capital and expansion follow proof, a licensed, sourced, contracted and utilised base before scaling.
