IKE is deep in a utility vertical
workflow andis embedded in
utility engineering standards
AI is IKE’s accelerant – not its disruptor
AI widens IKE's moat — every new AI feature increases switching cost and pricing power
When IKE becomes a mandate
for every engineer in the utility –
competitors cannot replace
IKE has proprietary industry data,
including owning a 20M human-
engineered assets as a data set
General-purpose LLMs cannot replicate
IKE-specific AI and workflows, and our
U.S. utility customers are not going to
create theirown software.
AI-powered capability inside of
IKE's products has generated
higher pricing &more revenue
PolePilot enabled 10% increase

95% of IKE’s market is still untapped
The investment scale
•US utility capex 2025–2030: $1.1T–$1.4T
•2025 capex alone: ~$194B | 5-year CAGR: 8.5%
•Morningstar DBRS: utility investment "super-cycle" —
steepest demand growth in decades
•US grid must scale from 20% → 50% of national
energy capacity by 2050
•US Serviceable Obtainable Market: US$431M across
current product suite
•Current US penetration: ~5%
•~95% of IKE's defined market remains untapped —

IKE is not adjacent to the grid investment
cycle. It is inside the workflow.
Joint use
Every 5G & fiber attachment requires
a structural load assessment. IKE
runs those assessments.
Grid Hardening
Wildfire, storm, and flood response
requires proactive pole condition
assessment at scale. IKE's AI layer is
purpose-built for this.
Digital Twin
Utilities building digital replicas of
their overhead network. IKE's field
data is the primary source feeding
those twins.
Market opportunity is
substantially uncaptured.

IKE’s history is still ahead.

AI has unleashed a wave of data centre construction.
In 2023, AI data centres consumed about 4.4% of U.S.
electricity, and that share could triple by 2028.
Microsoft and Google estimate that the U.S. will need
500,000 more electric engineers in the next decade.
Heatwaves, wildfires, and storms are stressing electrical
network systems nationwide. Events once considered rare
- like the 2003 Northeast blackout that hit 50 million people
- are now seen as precursors of larger & more
commondisruptions.
Multiple factors are driving infrastructure investments, and the
need for technology, in North America
