NOTQIN Go-to-Market OS

The single document you open before any customer-facing action — a meeting, a LinkedIn message, an email to a professor, an investor coffee. Companion to the NOTQIN Project Management OS. PM OS answers how we run; this OS answers how we sell, get cited, and get funded.

1. North Star Narrative (one paragraph, memorise it)

NOTQIN is the industrial intelligence platform that turns CBAM, ONEE tariff, and EU buyer compliance pressure into a documented operating advantage for Moroccan manufacturers. We ship sector-specific packs (textile, cement, steel, aeronautics, automotive, agrifood), each combining real-time IoT, energy intelligence, CBAM-ready reporting, and audit evidence (AS9100D / IATF 16949 / ISO 50001) — at a price accessible to factories with 50–2 000 employees.

One-sentence version (LinkedIn bio / cold open):

NOTQIN helps Moroccan factories turn CBAM and energy pressure into export advantage — sector-pack IoT + AI deployed in 30 days, not 18 months.

One-word positioning: Industrial intelligence, locally adapted.


2. The Three Audiences

Each audience needs a different message, channel, and material. Never reuse a deck across audiences. Adapt the narrative below before the meeting.

2A. Moroccan Industrials — primary revenue audience

DimensionValue
WhoPlant director, COO, CDO, head of energy/QHSE at OCP Group, Sonasid, YNNA Steel, Tanger Med, Lesieur Cristal, Pharma 5, Managem Tizert, LafargeHolcim, Renault Tangier, Stellantis Kenitra. Profile per NOTQIN Customer Engagement Playbook ICP.
Why they buy(1) CBAM penalty avoidance from 2027. (2) ONEE peak-tariff pain. (3) EU buyer compliance (H&M, Inditex, Airbus, Stellantis Group). (4) Audit fatigue (AS9100D / IATF 16949 / ISO 50001 / ISO 14001).
Hook (first 30 s)“We document your carbon and energy data in a way the EU auditor will accept — without ripping out your existing ERP or PLCs.”
Value prop sequenceCBAM-ready exports → energy savings (5–15 %) → audit evidence on tap → sector-specific from day one.
ChannelsLinkedIn direct (founder), warm intros via OCP Group / UM6P / ENSA Berrechid / CGEM, FIMME / GIMAS / AMICA events, content (vault → blog → social), integrator referrals (MaestroHub, ThreadCloud).
Material to bringNOTQIN — Pitch Industrial AI (sector-customised), sector-specific overlay sheet from Morocco UNS Standard, the relevant pitch HTML, a 2-min recorded demo video.
FunnelNOTQIN Customer Engagement Playbook 5-stage (Qualify → Diagnose → Pilot Proposal → Pilot Delivery → Conversion).
Pilot rung entryPer NOTQIN Pilot Playbook §2 — usually R0 → R1 → R2; existing-instrumentation customers can enter at R2 (Managem Tizert model).
PricingDiagnostic Pack 2 500–5 000 MAD (free for strategic), 30-day Pilot 180–800 k MAD, Annual SaaS 600 k – 2 500 k MAD/site. Per-customer overlays in Morocco UNS Standard.
Success metricSigned annual contract within 4 months of Stage 1 contact.

Reality check (2026-05-21): zero signed customers. The “Hallotex” name in the codebase is a synthetic dev placeholder, not a real account. All real prospects below are pre-Stage-1 today. Landing customer #1 is the single most important GTM action of the next 90 days.

2B. Academic & Institutional — credibility, talent, research

DimensionValue
WhoUM6P (Ahmed Ratnani — Digital Twins / Vanguard, Hamza Keurti — geometric DL), ENSA Berrechid (Dr Driss HARRIZI — LISA Team 3, Economic Intelligence), IRESEN (energy research funding), FIMME (federation), GIMAS, AMICA, CGEM (employers’ confederation), Math & Maroc.
Why they engage(1) Joint publications. (2) Thesis subjects + student talent pipeline. (3) Industrial validation of academic models. (4) Federation-level visibility (member briefings, conferences).
Hook (first 30 s)“We have a live industrial deployment in Morocco that’s a natural co-publication subject — would NOTQIN make a useful case study or PhD theme for your group?”
Value prop sequenceReal-world data + deployments → joint research output → student internships / PFE / theses → institutional visibility.
ChannelsDirect email (formal French/Arabic), university seminars, Math & Maroc annual competition (July 24–28), ProveIt Conference / Fez Smart Factory / NextGen Manufacturing Summit Africa.
Material to bringAcademic-framed dossier (NO commercial framing — see standing instruction). Research roadmap (Papers 1–4), CBAM/NILM/Bayesian/Causal series scope. Citations to relevant work (e.g. Ratnani digital twins, Volponi GPA, Fentaye 2019).
FunnelCoffee/call → joint topic scoping → co-supervised thesis or paper → signed academic partnership letter.
Forbidden in academic commsNo mention of DigiTPME commercial entity, no MAD pricing, no commercial pilots, no “long-term vision” pitch. Keep strictly academic — feedback memory feedback_academic_communications is binding.
Material templates2026-04-28 Demande — Directrice ENSA Berrechid — projet pédagogique (formality reference), 2026-05-19 Email — Pr. Harrizi — partage dossier NOTQIN (dossier-share template).

2C. Investors & Grants — capital (after customer #1 signs)

DimensionValue
WhoGrants: Tamwilcom (Innov Idea, Innov Start, Innov Dev), MITC (Ministère de l’Industrie), IRESEN (energy R&D), Startup Maroc, Innov Invest, MOWAKABA (80-90 % SME subsidy for the buying side). Equity: 212 Founders (UM6P-affiliated, ≥ 1 paying customer needed), Outlierz Ventures, MNF Ventures, CDG Invest.
When to approachEquity: only after the first paying contract is signed. Trying to raise pre-traction = signalling weakness. Grants: can be approached now — Tamwilcom Innov Idea explicitly accepts pre-revenue, and the product itself (5 sector packs running) is the credibility.
Hook (first 30 s)(pre-customer-#1, for grants:) “We’ve built a production-grade industrial intelligence platform — 5 sector packs running on shared architecture — and we’re targeting Moroccan industrials with CBAM exposure starting Jan 2027.” (post-customer-#1, for equity:) “We have a paying industrial customer in Morocco ([sector], [size]), a sector-pack architecture that’s already running 5 verticals on the same code, and a regulatory tailwind (CBAM) that turns into MAD on Jan 1 2027.”
Value prop sequenceTraction (paying customer) → regulatory tailwind (CBAM 2027) → scalable architecture (sector packs) → Moroccan-founded competitive moat (Made-in-Morocco framing).
Material to bring12-slide investor deck (TODO — derive from Feasibility Study — DigiTPME 2026 + DigiTPME Founder Roadmap 2026-2027), one-pager, financial model (5-year MAD), data room (contracts, references, IP).
Channels212 Founders application portal, Outlierz portfolio scout warm intro, CGEM funding events, Tamwilcom regional offices, UM6P entrepreneurship office.
Funnel(a) Grants: written application → committee decision (4–8 weeks). (b) Equity: warm intro → first call → diligence → term sheet → signing (3–6 months).
Success metric≥ 1 grant submitted by end of 2026, ≥ 1 grant secured or 1 equity term sheet by mid-2027.

Pre-condition before any equity pitch:

  • First paying pilot contract signed (the dominant Q3 priority — see NOTQIN Project Management OS R1)
  • Investor deck v1 complete
  • Financial model with 3 scenarios (bear / base / bull)

Grant applications can start now — no pre-condition beyond the existing product + dossier.

5. Sales Pipeline & Cadence

The pipeline lives in NOTQIN Customer Engagement Playbook (the 5-stage funnel). This OS adds the operating cadence on top.

Weekly (Monday, 30 min — part of PM OS weekly ritual):

  1. Review each named industrial account (table in §2A) — has the stage moved?
  2. Pick the 3 highest-leverage actions for the week. Examples: send one cold email, send one warm-intro request, prep one demo.
  3. Update the Next action and ETA columns.

Monthly (1st business day):

  1. Refresh pipeline tables in §2A, §2B, §2C.
  2. Add new prospects from the Moroccan Industrial Digital Maturity Dossier memory and recent intel.
  3. Retire stalled prospects (no movement in 90 days → archive, not delete).
  4. Recompute conversion ratios per stage.

Quarterly (Q kickoff):

  1. Refresh ICP — is the qualification cutoff still right?
  2. Refresh messaging architecture — has the pain hierarchy shifted? (CBAM phase changes; ONEE tariff changes.)
  3. Refresh pricing — any deals taught us the price was too low or too high?

6. Pricing & Commercial Templates

Three packages — never quote off-menu.

Package 1 — Diagnostic Pack

  • Price: 2 500–5 000 MAD (free for strategic anchors like OCP)
  • Scope: 1-day plant walkthrough, digital maturity + operational-loss assessment, top-3 loss map, ROI estimate, recommended 30-day pilot scope.
  • Deliverable: PDF report + 1-hour debrief call.
  • Lead time: 2 weeks.
  • Purpose: open the door without a software commitment.

Package 2 — 30-day Pilot

  • Price: 180 k MAD (small site, R0–R1) → 800 k MAD (multi-line site, R2 shadow)
  • Scope: Sector pack deployment on one line/area, customer-site.yaml configured, demo data flowing in factory-app + Grafana, one specific operational KPI baselined.
  • Deliverable: Live deployment + steering meetings + pilot report.
  • Lead time: 4–8 weeks calendar (pilot itself is 30 ops days).
  • Purpose: prove value before the customer signs annual SaaS.

Package 3 — Annual SaaS

  • Price: 600 k MAD/year (single site, < 5 lines) → 2.5 M MAD/year (multi-site, full sector pack + custom workflows)
  • Scope: Per-customer droplet, all sector-pack modules, monthly KPI reviews, SLA-backed support, quarterly business review.
  • Deliverable: Production access + SLA + dedicated channel.
  • Lead time: ≤ 30 days post-signature.
  • Purpose: convert pilot to recurring revenue.

Per-customer overlays (already scoped) live in Morocco UNS Standard — 6 overlays: OCP Safi, Sonasid, YNNA Steel, Managem Tizert, Lesieur Cristal, Tanger Med.

Discounting rules:

  • Strategic anchor (OCP, first auto, first aero) — up to 40 % off Y1 in exchange for case-study rights + reference call.
  • Federation introduction (FIMME / GIMAS / AMICA) — 10 % standard referral discount.
  • Never discount below cost-to-serve. Cost-to-serve = ~ 250 k MAD/year/customer in current state.

7. Objection Handling Library

ObjectionBest response (short)
“We already have ERP / SCADA / MES.""NOTQIN sits between them — we don’t replace, we publish your existing data on a Unified Namespace so CBAM and audit teams can finally read it."
"Why not 4Sight, Siemens, AVEVA, Rockwell?""They sell proprietary closed stacks at 10× our price and need 18 months. We sell sector packs that deploy in 30 days on open standards (UNS / Sparkplug B). And we’re Moroccan — your data stays in Morocco (CNDP)."
"Why not HighByte?""HighByte is a strong enterprise Industrial DataOps platform for mature IT/OT teams. NOTQIN is built for Moroccan exporters who need compliance evidence, local deployment, FR/AR operator context, and a 30-day fixed-scope path; we can integrate with enterprise DataOps later, but our wedge is the evidence and sector-pack layer above the raw data backbone."
"CBAM is years away / will be softened.""Reporting is already in force since Jan 2026. Financial penalties start Jan 2027. Your EU buyer audit happens before then."
"Can you connect to my Siemens S7 / Omron / Schneider PLC?""Yes — our edge stack supports S7-200/300/400/1200/1500, Omron FINS, Modbus, OPC UA. Reference: IIoT Platform Build Intelligence — Open Source Stack 2026."
"Will you write to my PLC?""Not without an audit. We start at Trust Ladder R0–R2 (read-only). Writing to your PLC requires a signed plant-engineer authorisation per NOTQIN Pilot Playbook."
"How is your data secured?""TLS 1.3, mTLS between brokers, path-prefix ACL, Ed25519-signed CBAM payloads. Hosted in Morocco. CNDP/DGSSI-aligned. See Morocco UNS Standard v0.2."
"Show me a reference customer.""We’re pre-first-customer by design — we wanted the platform fully production-grade before charging anyone. That’s exactly why we’re offering a Diagnostic Pack at MAD 2.5–5k: you get the audit without the commitment, and you’d be our anchor reference. Here’s a live demo of the full stack — 5 sector packs running today."
"You’re one person + AI.""That’s our advantage — no integrator overhead, founder-led pilots, AI-assisted velocity. We staff up after customer #2 — by design, not by accident."
"We don’t have an IT/OT team.""You don’t need one — sector pack ships pre-configured, our droplet is fully managed, your team only consumes dashboards + audit reports."
"How long until ROI?""Pilot ROI is measured in week 4. Annual ROI typically lands at 3–7× on energy savings alone, before counting CBAM penalty avoidance.”

8. Standard 15-min Demo Script

The demo is the conversion moment. Run it identically every time so it tightens with each customer.

00:00–01:00   Hook — "Let me show you what your CBAM report looks like
              when it's automatic. This is a real factory's data."
01:00–04:00   factory-app — sector landing (textile/cement/etc.), live KPIs,
              ErpLivePanel pulling from ERP, live MQTT updating.
04:00–07:00   Drill into one anomaly (IEIA module) — energy spike on loom
              MTX-007. Show timeline + Claude-generated root cause.
07:00–10:00   CBAM Agent — ask it "what's our CBAM exposure this quarter?"
              Show signed proof object + audit-ready PDF export.
10:00–12:00   NOTQINVR quick clip — phone scanning a loom shows live data.
              (Pre-recorded, 30 s.)
12:00–14:00   Pricing & Trust Ladder — show the R0-R4 progression on one slide.
              Anchor on "30-day pilot, fixed scope, fixed price."
14:00–15:00   Close — "What machine in your plant gives you the most pain?
              Let's scope a Diagnostic Pack on that line."

Demo must-nots:

  • Never demo a feature that’s broken (rehearse 30 min before).
  • Never claim a sector pack is live if it isn’t (currently live: textile, cement, steel, aeronautics, agrifood).
  • Never quote a price not in §6.

  3. Forwardable paragraph about NOTQIN (no jargon, 4 sentences) the introducer can copy/paste
  4. Specific ask + close

10. Reference Library (capture as you go)

Things to systematically capture during every pilot — your future sales arsenal.

  • Quotes — verbatim from operators/managers. Min 1 per pilot week. Get written permission to use anonymously.
  • Screenshots — before/after dashboards, alerts that fired, CBAM reports.
  • Numbers — energy saved (kWh, MAD), downtime reduced (hours), anomalies caught (count + value).
  • Stories — the specific incident that proved the value. Time-stamped. Photo if possible.
  • Logos — get written permission before using a customer logo. Default: don’t until R3 signature.
  • Reference calls — explicit verbal consent recorded in the steering meeting notes.
  • Video testimonials — only after R4 + 6 months in production.

Next steps after first read

  1. Block 30 min next Monday for the Weekly outreach review (§5) and pick the 3 actions.
  2. Build the investor deck v1 from Feasibility Study — DigiTPME 2026 + DigiTPME Founder Roadmap 2026-2027 (target: end of June, ready when customer #1 closes — equity-side). For grants, the dossier can ship now.
  3. Record the 2-min demo video (one Saturday morning, screencast of factory-app + ErpLivePanel + IEIA + CBAM Agent).
  4. Update §2A account tables every Monday — discipline matters more than perfection.
  5. Run §12 pre-meeting checklist for every customer interaction, even the small ones.
