ASSUMPTIONS AND PROJECTIONSThe revenue projections here take an alternate perspective. They are projected based on the size of the company that signs up for using Genious.

Using this lens, we see that the focus shifts on the size of the company that is accessing the information, rather than the amount of information it wants to access. The distinction here being that there are options between basic and premium features. The reasoning behind going in this direction is to initially offer as little barriers to the manufacturers as possible to allow showing true capabilities of the analytics/insight available from the Genious platform.
