Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the Form S-1 registration statement required to be filed within 60 days of July 11, 2025.
- Monitor the company's cash burn rate to assess the likelihood of exercising the $600,000 Second Closing option.
- Review the company's current share count to calculate the potential dilution impact of the 4.99% (or 9.99%) ownership cap.
