Reserve is the next decision, not the markinfo

Net revenue retention is 132% and usage, not seats, is doing the work. A US competitor has started quoting sovereign deployments in Frankfurt.

Suggested action. Use the €6m reserve to pre-empt a process if the founder will hold the round to existing investors through Q1. Do not wait for a bank book.

Monitoring note

Lumenstack is the cleanest compounder in the book. The product is in the path of production traffic, gross margin has held above 75%, and the European data-residency objection is still doing our selling for us. The risk is round timing, not the company.
