Confirming evidence
- • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite.
Contradictions & invalidation
- • BLISS testing and Lightning onboarding have not yet produced documented follow-on orders or recurring-revenue evidence.
- • Cash declined materially while adjusted EBITDA losses remained substantial.
- • Revenue growth has not yet translated into profitability: Q2 adjusted EBITDA loss widened to C$1.74 million, cash and short-term investments were C$3.0 million at March 31 versus C$6.7 million at September 30, and the core contracts have no minimum guaranteed values.
