First-pass take

QinetiQ is a UK defence contractor with peripheral AI exposure (mentioned only alongside robotics, autonomy, sensors in US strategy). Core business is test & evaluation and training services for UK MOD under long-term contracts (LTPA 25-yr, EDP 10-yr). Extremely high customer concentration and UK Government dependency create downside risk despite defensive sector. No financial data provided for valuation.
