Why This Question Matters

With accelerating cash burn ($13-15M/quarter OpEx + CapEx) and zero revenue, the Stress Scanner flagged cash position as a critical monitoring trigger. Falling below $200M before revenue would escalate funding fragility and potentially force dilutive financing.

$400M+ cash minus $15M/quarter OpEx and ~$100M CapEx still leaves well above $200M.

CapEx could accelerate. LCM acquisition cost adds ~$73M. But starting from $400M+ provides substantial buffer.

Even with aggressive spending, $200M floor through Q3 seems achievable from $400M+ base.

Math favors yes: $400M minus $45M OpEx (3 quarters) minus $100M CapEx = ~$255M. Comfortable margin.
