First-pass take

Turnaround story with strong margin expansion (EBITDA +107% on 11% revenue growth) and sticky recurring revenue (74% of total). Cloud services grow 24.7%, positioning for infrastructure tailwinds. However, no explicit AI revenue exposure, £18m net debt (2.0x leverage), and critical valuation data absent.
