Valuation Lens
Connect recurring revenue growth, retention, pricing, operating margin, and free-cash-flow conversion. AI deserves a separate scenario range because it can increase both demand and infrastructure costs. A robust thesis should not require perfect AI monetization to justify the core franchise.
Update Triggers
Refresh after a new annual filing, material quarterly filing, major acquisition or divestiture, material product or platform transition, major regulatory action, or another event that changes a core thesis assumption. A price move by itself is not a content-update trigger unless the page publishes valuation data tied to that price.
