Mining Pit Sensor for Battery Tier-1 Mineral Provenance
One-Liner
Sensor deployment at mine pit level to attest mineral provenance at point of extraction — killed as a fold into T2 (Indonesian Nickel smelter-gate product, where the same sensor stack is a Series B roadmap expansion, not a separate company).
AI Thinking Process
T2 (smelter-gate sensor) generalized to mine-pit level: attest mineral provenance at extraction point rather than smelter intake.
This is T2 re-shaped. Same sensor stack, different deployment node. Mine-pit deployment is a Series B expansion for T2, not a separate company. Folded into T2 roadmap.
Not a hard kill — folded into T2. No separate extraction needed.
Kill Reason
Not a genuine kill — folded into T2 as a later-stage product extension. The mine-pit deployment is the same sensor logic as the smelter-gate product in T2 but with a different buyer (mining auditor vs battery OEM). If T2 is built, mine-pit becomes a natural product-line extension, not a standalone company.

killed: Open-source middleware (HAMi) already provides heterogeneous AI computing virtualization for free. Proprietary play is squeezed between free open-source and vertically integrated hardware vendor ecosystem.
killed: 5+ funded competitors including Cast AI ($1B valuation), OneChronos (backed by Nobel laureate), Akash Network (decentralized, 80% cheaper), Argentum AI (blockchain-settled). Market is claimed with massive capital.
