Base (55%)-13%

Base case sees multiple compression to 6x as incumbent competition pressures growth, with 20pp dilution from future funding.

Bear (35%)-98%

Bear case exit at 4x multiple and $21.44M liquidation barely covers $20.7M preference, leaving common with only $0.74M, an effective -97.5% loss.
