What believers are saying

  • June 2026 Plasma launches as KX-powered surveillance software.
  • May 2026 UK Private Capital recognized growth, competitiveness, innovation, and sustainability.
  • October 2026 website updates show active thought leadership and managed services marketing.

What critics are saying

  • KX dependency concentrates product risk; any KX strategy shift hits revenue in 2027.
