First-pass take

Traditional professional services consultancy focused on construction/engineering claims, dispute resolution, and expert witness services. Zero AI revenue exposure or strategic exposure to AI spending. Improved operating leverage evident (staff utilisation 76% vs 71%; revenue +15% on 10% headcount reduction) but constrained by labour-intensive service model. Insufficient valuation data in filing; minimal net cash (£0.2m) and cyclical end-market exposure provide limited downside protection.
