## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $87.7M (FY2025). Experience: revenue up 25.4% on the year, up 15.1% a year over 4 years; operating margin 10.9%, up from 5.8%. Soundness: equity 71.3% of assets, return on equity 28.7%. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $76.4M and $139.6M next year (method v4.1: its own 6-year record of growth weighed at 63% against $50M–100M filers; across 2019–2025, 69.0% landed inside, 83.4% on the one year the method never saw). In a shock year the stress range is $78.2M to $136.7M. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (10 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 10.9% against a 10.5% median; growth 25.4% against 0.3%.
