Worth noticing
The analyst reports $2.82M cumulative ten-year free cash flow in its downside proxy, versus negative base-case cash flow through 2029.

Field notes

The workbook presents figures for 2027, 2028, 2029, 2031, and 2036; intervening years are faded and interpolated at constant growth, with the page saying they reconcile to within roughly 4% of the memo’s ten-year cumulative free cash flow. It distinguishes a $1.58M peak core draw from an ask that includes contingency, and says about $535,000 would settle legacy liabilities rather than finance growth.
