The Roadmap
From Pilot Validation to Systemic Impact
Phased Strategy
Phase 1 (Years 1-2)
Objective: Validating the model.
Location: Wolverhampton (provisional).
We will launch the first 2-4 franchisees in our pilot city, focusing exclusively on AI Assurance and Human-in-the-Loop services.
This phase is dedicated to rigorously testing the entire ecosystem: validating the commercial unit economics, refining the Apprenticeship Hub curriculum, and stress-testing the “Support to Succeed” pathways (including mental health and return-to-work resilience support). We aim to validate our core thesis: that an integrated economic engine—one that actively imports global capital, anchors it locally through inclusive ownership, and dismantles barriers to opportunity through supported employment—can succeed in regenerating deprived communities.
Capital Strategy: To prioritise learning over immediate commercial pressure, the initial loan book will be capitalised through grant funding. This “patient capital” absorbs early-stage risk, allowing us to refine the operational blueprint and prove our repayment metrics before taking on commercial debt.
Phase 2 (Years 3-4)
Objective: Regional Density & Portfolio Diversification.
Location: West Midlands Cluster (e.g. Sandwell, Birmingham).
Following a successful pilot, we will expand to a cluster of 5-10 franchisees to build a resilient regional network. This phase introduces Portfolio Diversification to protect against sector-specific risks. We will launch new business lines in Game Asset Development (CreaTech) and Circular Economy B2B Tech Refurbishment, leveraging specific local skills pipelines. This cluster approach creates a peer-support network for franchisees and establishes a strong regional brand presence capable of winning larger contracts.
Capital Strategy: We will transition to a Hybrid Scaling model. As unit economics are proven, we will introduce Social Investment Debt alongside a pilot for “Digital Community Bonds” (Tokenised Fixed-Coupon Debentures). This innovative mechanism allows local residents and impact investors to purchase fractional debt in the network, deepening the “Anchored Wealth” effect.
Phase 3 (Years 5+)
Objective: National Scale & Systemic Impact.
Location: National.
We aim to scale to a network of 50+ franchisees, replicating our “Business-in-a-Box” model in other high-need, high-connectivity towns across the UK. At this scale, RegenEvolution becomes a Systemic Intermediary, leveraging the collective power of the network to secure major national and international contracts that single units could not win. We will function as a primary Sovereign Supply Chain partner for major UK corporations, actively reversing the drain of wealth in dozens of communities simultaneously.
Capital Strategy: The network will be funded by Institutional Impact Investment seeking reliable, ESG-aligned returns. We will expand our tokenised debt programme to create a liquid market for community regeneration capital, allowing institutional funds to flow directly into deprived areas with the efficiency of a digital asset.
The Adaptive Portfolio
We do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” business. While our Phase 1 portfolio provisionally targets AI Assurance and Human-in-the-Loop services, these are selected specifically for the unique “digital arbitrage” opportunity in Wolverhampton (High Deprivation + 96% Gigabit Coverage).
Future Selection Criteria:
As we expand, the specific businesses we launch will evolve. However, every future franchise must meet our three strict economic criteria:
- Export-Oriented: It must sell to national/global clients to inject new money, bypassing local demand constraints.
- High-GVA: It must generate sufficient surplus to support the model and covenants (Living Wage, Profit Sharing, etc).
- Future-Proof: Future market demand must be robust, and the business must rely on sophisticated human input requiring progressive skill acquisition.
