Tiny Revenue ScaleExtremely small and declining revenue limits ability to absorb fixed costs, invest in commercialization, and prove product-market fit. Over the medium term this constrains scale benefits from positive gross margins and raises the capital required to reach sustainable profitability.
Persistent Deep LossesLarge recurring losses and negative shareholders' equity reflect accumulated operating deficits that weaken balance sheet resilience. Structurally, this reduces borrowing capacity, increases likelihood of dilutive capital raises, and poses solvency risk if losses persist.
Negative Operating Cash FlowSustained negative OCF/FCF means the business does not self-fund operations or growth and will need external capital. This reliance can dilute shareholders, constrain long-term investment, and make execution on commercialization or scaling plans contingent on successful financing.
