critical

Runway is 7.4 months

Implied cash is about €6.4m against €860k of monthly net burn. A priced round at the last mark is not on offer. Growth has flattened.

Suggested action. Call a reserve committee this month. Require a 13-week cash view and a plan that reaches 18 months without a new lead. Do not bridge alone.

watch

Growth decelerated from ~7% MoM to under 1%

The last four months added almost no ARR. Gross margin at 61% says delivery is still heavier than software.

Suggested action. Put a milestone on the claims-auto rate. If it is not moving, the bridge finances a services firm.

Monitoring note

Portico is the uncomfortable one. We own 18%, the mark is already under cost, and the company is not failing loudly. It is slowing. Quiet slowdowns are how reserves get spent by default. Make it a decision.
