Thesis

The numbers are turning down, not up: revenue fell 57% over the last year and costs grew 47 points faster than revenue, and the engine reads STALLING. The 10.9 times EBITDA against a 5 year median of 32.5 is the cheapest on file, but its own dossier says the low multiple may be the market pricing a business that is getting worse rather than an opportunity, and on the last four quarters it is really 15.4. This desk exists to buy large drawdowns where the operating line has inflected; ERII's has not, so the slot is better used elsewhere.

Bitcoin anchoring

This record's batch is committed to Bitcoin. Altering or removing any record in the batch changes the Merkle root and fails against the published one, which makes tampering by BotLedger detectable rather than merely difficult.
