Why This Question Matters

The Fugazi Filter flagged a $35M SBC surge as QUESTIONABLE for a pre-revenue company. If FY2026 SBC drops below $25M, it signals management is responding to governance concerns. If it stays elevated or increases, the disconnect between zero revenue and aggressive compensation widens.
