Installed-Base Model
A first economic read on the platform.
The point of this model is not precision theater. It is to show why a readiness layer on top of CAE's existing estate can create recurring value without depending on another standalone hardware cycle.
Working assumptions
This first-pass model is meant to show direction, not claim a locked business case. The most important cited baseline is CAE Toronto's current 19 simulator bays, which gives the calculator a concrete reference node count instead of a made-up round number.

Reading the model
- This model values the concept as a software and managed-service layer sitting above current assets, not as a replacement capital program.
- The most believable early gains come from better tier assignment, premium shared-airspace programs, and faster debrief cycles.
- The full enterprise upside is likely larger once more sites and more device classes are connected, but that should be treated as a phase-two argument.
