1. The SIGHTREAD reading stack

PageWeaver is not sold as a gadget. It is the paper entrance to SIGHTREAD: the same system that already makes a product package machine-readable now makes a printed page machine-readable. The hardware earns its own return; the APP and the library turn each device into a recurring account; the platform turns every account into data that serves the rest of the business.

1. ① PageWeaver reads

   Place a book and sleep. The stand turns its own pages and two fixed cameras capture every spread, checking each turn and retrying a miss.

2. ② SIGHTREAD APP keys it

   Every page becomes text on the phone itself (on-device OCR) and the book becomes a SIGHTREAD object with its own ID; answers point back to the page.

3. ③ The library pays

   Each device includes 60 days of the S$199-a-year library: ask across every book you own, store page photos, keep writing in YOU WRITE.

4. ④ SIGHTREAD scales it

   The same identity, packaging engine and AI already serve products, shelves and stores, so every book scanned grows one platform.

2. Integrated economics

The hardware column is Model 17 exactly as the capital engine computes it today. The stack adds one thing: the library members that PageWeaver owners become after the 60 days included with the device. Their margin, S$10.50 a member a month after AI, storage and payment costs, is pure addition because the device and the APP are already paid for.

3. Three scenarios

Device curves are the three sales curves built into Model 17. Years 4 and 5 hold year 3's monthly rate. Even the conservative case returns the capital 3.3 times over five years.

4. One household

On-device OCR is what makes the library profitable: a 300-page book read on the phone or the PageWeaver controller costs nothing in AI, so AI is spent only on hard pages and questions, each billed by use. The research behind these figures puts the monthly library plan at 66% gross margin and the annual plan at 63%.

5. What runs today

Try it yourself: scan the code with your phone, point the camera at any product or book page, and the APP identifies it, builds its record and answers questions with the page it came from. The library and YOU WRITE run on the same account, so a book scanned in SIGHTREAD appears in the writer's research shelf without being scanned twice.

6. Capital plan

Capital is released gate by gate. G0 is released against the page-turn test: 99% success per turn on 70–80 gsm paperback paper. At the model's 99.9% per turn, a 300-page book finishes without a stop 86% of the time, and every miss is caught by the cameras and retried.

7. The next layer: SIGHTREAD platform

Model 02 sizes the full SIGHTREAD platform build at S$2,599,000, and Model 01 sizes the ten-store unmanned retail system it serves at S$7.6M. The reading stack does not need either to pay back, but it feeds both: every book and product scanned is one more object on the same registry, and every PageWeaver owner is one more SIGHTREAD account. Capital in the stack holds the first position on that curve.
