If what you are saying is that Atomo is one of the few Australian companies that has the headspace/resources to satisfy local demand and also has a more holistic local team (in terms of support functions and local R&D), then yes I do believe that Atomo is in a shortlist of companies. Most other companies really just sell the product here, but their support function may not be locally based.

When you say slow, smooth and gradual, are you saying it in a good or bad way? I think slow, smooth and gradual limits the risk of issues propping up because the company would have had the time and resources to properly iron things out before going to market.

Also I'm sure we have noticed that in the last couple of months, John Kelly has literally been everywhere in the media. So I think they recognise the need to get their name out there (and it's definitely out there now), so it really is just a matter of time before something concrete (that isn't a trial) will be locked in (in my opinion).

I think that once we lock in some contracts, that's when people will look at Atomo and think "oh yeh, of course it makes sense - why wouldn't you pick Atomo? It's local, it's proven, it's effective". That's also when additional investors will come in.
