**Recommendations**
1. Validate the 2024 revenue assumption of $12M.
2. Challenge the aspirational 2025-26 revenue growth rates.
3. Review COGS and operating expenses to ensure alignment with revenue growth.
4. Assess the impact of key sensitivities (sales cycle, churn rate, CAC) on financial performance.
