Executive Overview

Strategic Problem & Solution

Canada's highways suffer from some of the highest rates of wildlife-vehicle collisions in North America—a multi-billion-dollar crisis affecting transportation infrastructure, insurance claims, emergency response, and human safety.

The Infrastructure Gap

Per-Incident Costs
$28k–$87k+
Depending on severity, with added systemic costs when fatalities occur
Wildlife Fencing Cost
$1M–$5M
Per kilometre with long lead times, environmental delays, and permitting challenges

Strategic Insight: Wildlife Shield Systems does not aim to replace fencing—it supplements the infrastructure gap. It offers a middle-tier safety solution that is immediately deployable, budget-aligned with OPEX (not CAPEX), and effective in reducing collision risk on corridors unlikely to receive structural intervention in the next 5–10 years.

The Fusion Advantage

This fusion of chemistry + delivery + data builds long-term defensibility while enabling high-throughput, operational-grade service at scale.

Business Model

Financial Viability & Unit Economics

Recurring-revenue service model with 60% gross margins, early breakeven, and high asset productivity

Core Financial Metrics

Annual Service Price
Approx. $2,500
per km/year (indicative service cost)
Cost per km (labor, chem, fuel)
~$1,000

Strategic Advantage

The low initial capital requirement means investor dollars are used for deployment, not for years of speculative R&D. This allows the company to become cashflow-positive at a small share of its initial serviceable market.

Alberta Market Opportunity
Alberta's high-risk corridors alone represent 1,000–2,000 km of immediate addressable market—creating clear pathway to profitability and scale.

Severe Hotspot Scenario

For corridors similar to Medicine Hat-area hotspots with baseline collisions of 10–15 per km per year:

Baseline Collisions 10–15 per km/year
Expected Reduction 3–4 collisions avoided
Total Avoided Cost $120k–$300k+ /km/year
ROI vs Service Cost 50×–120×

This scenario reflects known hotspot conditions based on documented collision data, not theoretical maximums.

Competitive Advantage

Competitive Moat & Defensibility

A compounding advantage through four reinforcing layers that competitors cannot easily replicate

1. Intellectual Property

Patent-protected formulation purpose-designed for roadside conditions no other repellent targets
Method-of-use protocols create SOP complexity that's difficult to imitate

Coverage rates, vegetation targeting, and weather response protocols form a knowledge moat

2. Data Accumulation

Every treated kilometre contributes to a proprietary environmental dataset
Corridor-specific response rates, effective treatment windows, and incident correlations

Creates the equivalent of a "collision reduction algorithm" per zone over time

3. Regulatory Experience

Actively engaged in PMRA process with phased validation
Third-party lab partnerships and compliance planning built into roadmap

Regulatory alignment is foundational, not an afterthought—creating first-mover advantage

4. Operational Inertia

Public contractors and agencies unlikely to retrain or revalidate after successful treatment
Creates practical "stickiness" and high switching costs

Established corridor relationships compound over contract renewal cycles

Why Existing Repellents Cannot Be Re-Labeled for Highway Use

Limitation Typical Repellent Wildlife Shield™ Design
Application Environment Garden / Orchard Rural highway corridors
Rain & UV Tolerance Minimal Engineered persistence
QA Documentation None Audit-ready
Scale Hand / Backpack spray Boom-sprayer, GPS-logged

The IP is a system, not just a recipe. Defensibility arises from formulation architecture + method-of-use + SOP-driven deployment + longitudinal performance data. Competitors cannot copy one layer without replicating all four.
