Data Quality

Data: Low

The expected equity return over 2 years is -22.4% due to high entry valuation, missing growth data, and significant dilution risk.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (20%)+34%

Revenue reaches ~$9M by 2028 with exit multiple holding at 12x (top comp), driven by AI tailwinds and potential IPO window. Equity net of 20% dilution yields 34% upside.

Base (50%)-17%

Revenue grows to ~$9M but multiple converges to 8x (comp mean), valuation ~$72M. After 20% dilution, net downside of -17%.

Bear (30%)-69%

Growth disappoints due to incumbent competition; revenue ~$9M but multiple compresses to 4x. Exit ~$36M, far below entry. Dilution amplifies loss to -69%.
