# SDV Business & Investment Enablement

Creating great SDV tech is only half the challenge—funding it responsibly and proving its pay-off is the other half. Business & Investment Enablement equips decision-makers with hard numbers, repeatable models, and clear investment gates so they can prioritise features, size budgets, and justify ongoing updates throughout a vehicle’s life. Without this lens, SDV quickly turns into “cost to compete.” With it, the programme becomes a measurable value engine.

## **SHIFT – The SDV Business Case**

A joint initiative by **KPMG, A2MAC1, BinaryCore, and Reusch Law**

SHIFT (SDV **H**olistic **I**nvestment Framework for **T**ransformation) will be the first open model that quantifies both the **true cost** and the **real value** of SDV transformation across multiple vehicle generations.

* **Why it matters**\
  Legacy OEMs face agile SDV-native rivals and billion-euro write-offs. Digital add-on revenues remain elusive. SHIFT supplies a data-driven baseline so strategy and engineering can take informed bets instead of expensive guesses.
* **What it delivers**\
  *Top-down P\&L scenarios* vs. legacy E/E, *bottom-up TCO* from 900+ teardown datasets, feature-level lifecycle costing, and legally safe, anonymised data that any OEM can reuse. Future extensions will add interactive dashboards for what-if analysis and make-or-buy trade-offs.
* **How it works**\
  Finance modelling (KPMG) meets granular cost benchmarks (A2MAC1) and in-field feature economics (BinaryCore), all wrapped in an IP-safe governance shell (Reusch Law). The result: an investment playbook that can be shared, audited, and continuously refined.

SHIFT will give CFOs, platform strategists, and procurement leads a common language—and the numbers—to steer SDV programmes with confidence. Watch this space!
