First-pass take

Professional services firm with no AI exposure; demand is cyclical, driven by M&A activity and corporate restructuring. Strong cash generation (£30.5m operating cash) and net cash position (£33.3m) provide financial flexibility, but the services model lacks operating leverage (headcount grew 21% vs revenue 19%) and is vulnerable to macro slowdowns (Q4 FY2025 saw project delays).
