First-pass take

Education provider with no AI exposure. Long-term Pathway contracts (5–15 years) and underlying profit improvement (£0.22m→£0.38m) suggest operating leverage potential; management targets FY2028 material gearing. However: recently loss-making, FY2026 expected loss, structurally insolvent (-£5.18m equity despite £1.89m cash). No valuation multiples disclosed.
