6. SWOT Snapshot (Investor-Facing)
Strengths
- Highest resin quality consistency
- Scientifically defensible
- Modular & upgradable
- Export-market compliant
Weaknesses
- Requires training
- Slightly higher learning curve
Opportunities
- Premium oil markets (Middle East, Japan)
- Carbon-linked agarwood systems
- Licensing to government & academe
Threats
- Low-cost imitators
