Bull case
▲ upsideSensors deployed at Cleveland Clinic, NIH, NHS hospitals, University of Nottingham. The MEG market is the most-mature quantum sensing vertical — every major brain-imaging center is migrating from SQUID to OPM. Direct healthcare reimbursement pathway. UK-anchored but global distribution.
Bear case
▼ downsideHealthcare procurement cycles are slow. Competing OPM vendors (FieldLine, QuSpin) split the market. Pure sensor play, not a compute platform.
A profile is a snapshot of an argument, not a verdict. The Ledger updates the score nightly; the thesis we revisit only when the facts change.
