First-pass take

Micro-cap real estate franchisor (£10.7m revenue) with no meaningful AI strategy beyond vague platform enhancements. Cyclical demand driven by sentiment and rates; H2 2025 saw 11% profit decline despite flat revenue from sentiment shocks. Network grew 6% but company's commission revenue flat and margins compressed—no operating leverage realized. Strong net cash (£3.9m) insufficient to offset structural cyclicality.
