Confirming evidence

  • • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite.

Contradictions & invalidation

  • • K7 deployment timing is inconsistent within the Q2 release, and commercialization remains unproven. [#SEC-8K-2026-08-12]
  • • Q2 gross margin was about 7%, versus $13.8 million in operating expenses; the net loss widened to $14.1 million. [#SEC-8K-2026-08-12]
  • • Most Q2 growth came from the acquired Security Force, while approximately 7% gross margin, a $14.1 million net loss and $8.2 million quarter-end cash leave substantial execution and financing risk.
