First-pass take

AI-powered rail infrastructure monitoring platform with 94% revenue growth but deep profitability challenges. Cordel product employs machine learning for asset analytics; key customers (Network Rail, ARTC, Union Pacific) prioritize operational efficiency, not AI spending. Auditor flagged material going-concern uncertainty due to heavy customer concentration and reliance on non-contractual usage-based revenue. Limited cash runway.
