Revenue last year:
$0
The loss that same year:
$0
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $5.

The company is still in the product-building phase: its spending runs far above its sales. That only changes once the product starts selling at scale.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
100%Products
Products 100%Product and Service, Other <1%
100% of all revenue comes from a single line: Products.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

In the vault right now:
$0
DEBT: $122.7M
At this pace, that money lasts about 2.9 years.

Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. For now, time is on the company’s side.
