Documented cause
WaterTechMX2 targeted Guadalajara after Monterrey failure. SIAPA exclusivity, Suez advisory, Veolia treatment concession — same French utility pattern confirmed in different city. Second sequential failure.

“Mexico water tech must become a Veolia or Suez approved technology vendor — the two French companies collectively hold water concessions covering 25M+ Mexicans; their partner ecosystem is the only viable distribution for independent water tech.”
