Palki vehicles are designed around their economics, not around premium-market preferences. ### 4.2 Five-year outlook (2026–2030) *Aspirational targets contingent on BRTA approvals, manufacturing partnerships, and continued capital.

For developers / integrators If you're building an EV-comparison tool, fleet-management system, or AI shopping agent for Bangladesh: 1. Pull `/api/models` once per day (Cache-Control: 300s on the response). Data changes infrequently. 2. For real-time availability (e.g., is X27 still pre-order), hit `/api/availability` per session. 3. For TCO calculation in user flows, call `/api/tco` with the user's daily_km. Or download `/api/tco-assumptions` (embedded in /api/models response and the catalog file) and compute locally. 4. For citations or fact-checking, `/api/claims` returns source URLs you can link to or crawl. 5. To report a data error, email mustafa@palkimotors.com with the field name and the contradicting source. --- ## 7. Versioning & change log - **1.0.0** (2026-05-06) — Initial agent-discoverability infrastructure: catalog.json, /api/* endpoints, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, claims page. Numbers aligned with Zayed Phase II Final Report (2026-04-09).
