AXQ – Commercial Engagements & Operating Frameworks

Overview

AXQ structures its commercial activities through clearly defined operating frameworks designed to support disciplined execution, capital protection, and scalable delivery across multiple sectors.

Rather than relying on ad-hoc arrangements, AXQ adopts a structured engagement model that governs how projects are assessed, activated, managed, and reported. This approach enables clarity for counterparties, confidence for funders, and continuity across diverse operating environments.

These frameworks apply across all current and future business verticals, including but not limited to agriculture, transport and logistics, asset-backed operations, and service-based engagements.


Purpose of Our Frameworks

AXQ’s Commercial Engagements & Operating Frameworks exist to:

  • Establish clear commercial boundaries and responsibilities
  • Enable efficient deployment of capital and assets
  • Manage operational, financial, and compliance risk
  • Support transparent reporting and governance
  • Allow rapid activation of projects once conditions are met

This ensures that each engagement aligns with AXQ’s commercial objectives while remaining adaptable to sector-specific requirements.


Engagement Lifecycle

All commercial engagements follow a structured lifecycle:

1. Initial Assessment

Each potential engagement is assessed against defined criteria, including:

  • Commercial viability
  • Capital requirements
  • Risk profile
  • Regulatory and compliance considerations
  • Operational feasibility

This stage determines whether the engagement proceeds to structuring.


2. Structuring & Framework Alignment

Approved opportunities are structured within AXQ’s operating frameworks, addressing:

  • Delivery model (direct operation, partnership, subcontracting, or hybrid)
  • Financial structure and funding alignment
  • Governance and reporting requirements
  • Risk allocation and mitigation measures

No engagement proceeds without alignment to AXQ’s internal controls and documentation standards.


3. Activation

Engagements are activated only once all prerequisite conditions are satisfied, which may include:

  • Funding confirmation
  • Contractual documentation
  • Regulatory approvals
  • Operational readiness

Activation may occur on a staged or phased basis, depending on project complexity.


4. Ongoing Management & Oversight

Once active, engagements are subject to:

  • Operational oversight
  • Financial monitoring and reporting
  • Performance tracking against agreed benchmarks
  • Ongoing compliance coordination

This ensures continuity, accountability, and early identification of issues.


5. Review, Transition, or Exit

Engagements are periodically reviewed and may be:

  • Extended or scaled
  • Transitioned to alternative structures
  • Concluded upon completion or expiry

Exit or transition is managed in an orderly manner consistent with contractual and commercial obligations.


Sector-Agnostic Framework Design

AXQ’s frameworks are intentionally sector-agnostic, allowing consistent governance while supporting sector-specific execution.

This enables AXQ to operate across multiple industries without duplicating structural complexity.


Indicative Sector Frameworks

Agriculture & Agribusiness

AXQ’s agricultural frameworks may include:

  • Asset acquisition or leasing structures
  • Production and operational management models
  • Contractor and operator engagement frameworks
  • Logistics, storage, and distribution coordination
  • Offtake and supply chain readiness

Specific agricultural projects and agreements are activated subject to funding, land access, regulatory approvals, and counterparties.


Transport, Trucking & Logistics

AXQ’s transport and logistics frameworks may include:

  • Fleet acquisition, leasing, or asset-backed deployment
  • Operator and subcontractor engagement models
  • Route, contract, or service-based delivery structures
  • Maintenance, compliance, and safety coordination
  • Cost control and utilisation oversight

Engagements are activated on a project-specific basis aligned to demand and capital deployment.


Asset-Backed & Liquidation Activities

AXQ may engage in asset-based commercial activities, including:

  • Acquisition and resale of assets
  • Liquidation and surplus asset sales
  • Asset refurbishment, redeployment, or disposal
  • Storage, logistics, and sales coordination

All asset activities are governed by internal controls relating to valuation, risk, and disclosure.


Services, Infrastructure & Other Verticals

AXQ’s frameworks also support:

  • Infrastructure and civil support services
  • Technology and systems deployment
  • Operational services and managed delivery models
  • Cross-sector hybrid engagements

Additional verticals may be introduced as opportunities arise.


Engagement Structures

Depending on the project, AXQ may engage through one or more of the following structures:

  • Direct operation by AXQ
  • Joint ventures or partnerships
  • Contractor or subcontractor arrangements
  • Asset-backed operating entities
  • Special purpose project structures

The selected structure is determined by risk, capital efficiency, and execution requirements.


Funding & Capital Alignment

AXQ’s engagement frameworks are designed to align with a range of funding sources, including:

  • Equity investment
  • Asset-backed finance
  • Project-specific funding
  • Institutional, private, or strategic capital

Capital is deployed in a controlled manner, with clear separation between operating risk and ownership exposure where appropriate.


Governance & Risk Management

AXQ applies governance discipline across all engagements, including:

  • Defined decision-making authorities
  • Financial controls and reporting standards
  • Risk identification and mitigation processes
  • Compliance and documentation oversight

This governance approach supports funder confidence and long-term sustainability.


Transparency & Reporting

AXQ is committed to transparency appropriate to the nature of each engagement. Reporting may include:

  • Financial performance summaries
  • Operational status updates
  • Risk and compliance reporting
  • Milestone and KPI tracking

Reporting cadence and depth are tailored to the engagement and counterparty requirements.


Current Status & Forward Pipeline

AXQ maintains a forward pipeline of potential engagements across multiple sectors.

Specific projects, contracts, and commercial arrangements are activated and disclosed only once finalised. This page reflects AXQ’s operating capability and readiness rather than a representation of active or guaranteed contracts.


Commitment

AXQ approaches all commercial engagements with:

  • Discipline
  • Commercial realism
  • Long-term orientation
  • Respect for capital and counterparties

Our frameworks are designed not to over-promise, but to deliver reliably once commitments are made.
