That segment grew over \u003cstrong\u003e180%\u003c\/strong\u003e in FY2025, showing commercial validation of the platform’s value proposition.

Imitability is high because it requires two hard-to-replicate components: the massive, specific proprietary datasets the models were trained on, and the patented HYFT technology itself.
