Every Decision Counts

Four strategic levers shape your company's future each quarter.

Pricing Strategy

Set vehicle prices to balance volume and margin. Undercut rivals or position premium — the market responds to every move.

R&D Investment

Upgrade range, aesthetics, software, serviceability, and tech specs. Each attribute impacts cost of goods and your competitive edge.

Quarter Results

Review your P&L, track production output, and see how your decisions stacked up against the competition — every quarter tells a story.

Market Intelligence

Invest in advertising and market research. Build brand awareness, monitor competitor moves, and understand shifting consumer preferences.

Zero Luck. Every Outcome Earned.

A pure-strategy simulation — no dice, no random events that override your decisions. The market responds to price, quality, and brand awareness via a calibrated model. Every result traces directly back to a choice you made.

Hold or Fold

Demand Model

P(chooseᵢ) = exp(Vᵢ) / Σ exp(Vⱼ)

Multinomial logit — utility depends on price, brand awareness, and quality.

Utility

Vᵢ = βp·price + βm·awareness + βq·quality

Price sensitivity, adstock brand model, and R&D quality bonus.

Profitability

Net Income = Revenue − COGS − OpEx − Tax

Full accrual P&L each quarter. CIT at 25% at fiscal year-end.
