First-pass take

Aptitude Software is a well-managed financial software business with strong recurring revenue growth (24% RRB expansion, 37% software revenue growth) and solid operating leverage. However, it lacks meaningful AI exposure—products are regulatory-compliance-driven (IFRS 15/16/17) rather than ML-enabled—and the document contains no valuation multiples, preventing comprehensive assessment. Organic growth remains modest at 6% group level.
