Investment Thesis
Bull Case

Bear Case
Avoid at all costs due to the company's negative shareholders' equity of $-31.0M and inability to generate positive cash flow from operations. The trend shows worsening fundamentals with revenue turning negative in 2024 and losses widening significantly year-over-year.
