Key Considerations

- 📊 Keep an eye on transaction volumes, gross margins and cash burn to see whether higher activity is translating into a path toward better unit economics.
- ⚠️ The company remains loss making and has recently diluted shareholders, so funding needs and any further equity issuance are key risks to track alongside the operational progress.
