1. Pilot Objectives
The Pilot Program is designed to validate, refine, and demonstrate the commercial viability of the MycoResin™ technology under real plantation conditions. The program bridges laboratory validation with field-scale deployment, generating investor-grade data on performance, scalability, and economics.
Primary objectives:
- Validate resin induction success rates
- Measure quality and distribution of resin formation
- Establish time-to-value benchmarks
- Assess tree health, survival, and ESG performance
- Produce replicable SOPs for commercial rollout
2. Pilot Scope & Scale
- Pilot Sites: 1–3 plantation sites
- Total Trees: 300–1,000 trees (initial phase)
- Target Species: Aquilaria malaccensis
- Tree Age Range: 3–6 years
- Geographic Context: Philippines (agroforestry-compliant zones)
3. Pilot Design & Methodology
The pilot follows a controlled, phased deployment model:
Phase A – Baseline Assessment
- Tree health and site characterization
- Soil and microclimate profiling
- Control group designation
Phase B – MycoResin™ Application
- Fungal consortium preparation
- Species- and age-specific induction protocols
- Documented application procedures
Phase C – Monitoring & Evaluation
- Scheduled inspections (monthly/quarterly)
- Visual and anatomical indicators
- Resin initiation mapping
Phase D – Maturation & Harvest Assessment
- Resin density and spread analysis
- Quality grading (non-destructive and selective sampling)
- Yield projection modeling
4. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Resin initiation rate (%)
- Resin density and spatial distribution
- Tree vitality and survival rate
- Time-to-resin visibility (months)
- Comparative performance vs. control trees
5. Data, Documentation & Traceability
- Field logs and digital records
- Photo and geo-tagged documentation
- Batch-level protocol tracking
- Data ownership retained by Crown MycoResin Biotech Inc.
6. ESG & Sustainability Metrics
- Tree mortality reduction
- Non-toxic, non-chemical induction validation
- Soil and biodiversity impact observations
- Farmer and technician capacity building
7. Timeline
| Phase | Duration |
| Baseline & Site Prep | 1–2 months |
| Application & Induction | 1 month |
| Monitoring & Maturation | 12–18 months |
| Analysis & Reporting | 1–2 months |
8. Outputs & Deliverables
