AlphaDrive Launches New AI-Driven Revenue Generation Domain 'AX for Revenue' Today - Expanding Business Scope from 'New Business' to 'Revenue Evolution'

AlphaDrive, Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Representative Director, President and CEO: Yoichi Aso, hereinafter 'AlphaDrive') announces the expansion of its business domain, which it has cultivated in the field of 'new business,' into a new core area for the AI era: 'revenue evolution.'

Concurrently, the following four initiatives are announced and released today:

1. Background of the Announcement - 'Efficiency AI' no longer moves the needle Globally, a contradiction is becoming clear.

According to a McKinsey survey of 1,993 companies worldwide published in 2025, while AI utilization rates reached 88%, only 6% of companies reported achieving performance impact. A survey by MIT Project NANDA indicates that only about 5% achieve business impact. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' 'Information and Communications White Paper' 2025 edition also points out that Japanese companies' AI utilization is heavily skewed towards 'operational efficiency.'

AI has been introduced. But sales are not moving. This is the current landscape of the world, and of Japan.

Against this backdrop, another tectonic shift has occurred. The evolution of coding assistance AI has led to the collapse of software manufacturing costs. AlphaDrive calls this phenomenon 'Completion Cost Collapse.'

This pushes the very methodology of new business to the next stage. The orthodox approaches that have guided global new business for the past 20 years, such as LEAN STARTUP and MVP (Minimum Viable Product), were built on the premise that 'creating a finished product is high cost.' While we pay maximum respect to these orthodoxies, now that this premise has collapsed, we believe that new business methodologies are being forced to evolve from 'learning without building' MVP to a new paradigm of 'learning by immediately launching a finished product into the market' FPL (Full-Product Launch).

And from here on, this is the most essential meaning of today's announcement. In a world where the cost of manufacturing finished products has collapsed, the act of business development opens up to a broader domain beyond the scope of 'new business.' The era of placing 'Revenue Evolution AI,' which continuously generates new sales, at the core of management, beyond 'efficiency AI' that streamlines internal operations, has already begun.

2. AlphaDrive Steps into This New World Today Building a new, broader world of 'revenue evolution' on the foundation of 'new business' that we have hitherto undertaken. This is today's declaration. We will re-bundle the evolution of existing business revenue structures, the equipping of organizations with AI capabilities, talent development, and the creation of new businesses under the term 'revenue evolution.' New business will continue to be a core activity for AlphaDrive.

'New business' and 'revenue evolution' are not separate domains. With the collapse of finished product manufacturing costs due to AI, the revenue structure of existing businesses itself has become an object that can be redesigned as a new business. The power cultivated through accompanying 260 companies and 23,800 new business projects can be directly converted into the power to evolve the revenue structure of existing businesses. Revenue evolution lies on the extension of new business.

Stepping into this domain is based on three foundations:

① We are a business company that conducts our own business, not just a consulting firm.
