Years-long decline before final shutdown · Fatal mistake: Cambodia enterprise AI: Angkor Beer (Cambodia Brewery, Heineken subsidiary) used Heineken global AI; Cellcard (Axiata subsidiary) used Axiata group AI; ACLEDA Bank (Cambodia's largest bank) used Korean Hana Financial group AI post-2019 acquisition. 18M population with 60% agriculture subsistence economy. Independent enterprise AI TAM: 60 companies
Evaluating only CambodiaAI’s profile at its peak — without knowing the outcome — the model ranked Market too small as the #1 likely cause. That’s exactly how it died.

Documented cause
CambodiaAI built enterprise AI. ACLEDA (Hana), Cellcard (Axiata), Cambodia Brewery (Heineken) used parent AI. 44 viable target companies. Insufficient for scale.
Lesson
“Cambodia AI must target the garment factory sector (700+ factories, 700K workers) — this sector needs quality control AI, labor compliance monitoring, and supply chain optimization but has no parent company AI coverage.”
