First-pass take

Pre-commercial battery materials company with breakthrough Li-S/Na-S technology and strong partnerships (Max Planck, TDK, QinetiQ), but only £912k revenue from single customer and £4.5m annual cash burn. Batteries enable energy transition but lack explicit AI exposure; extreme customer concentration and manufacturing scale-up risk outweigh net-cash position.
