First-pass take

Strong, well-capitalized UK pensions specialist demonstrating >3x operating leverage on asset growth (+23% profit on +7% AUA), with cost savings £55m ahead of schedule. However, zero AI revenue exposure and missing valuation data disqualify it from the investment thesis; core market is mature and non-cyclical.
