Brutal Pre-Mortem

Founders will bleed cash trying to educate a skeptical, fragmented market on the urgency of IFRS S2 for 'regenerative menus' while failing to integrate with legacy systems, leading to an unsustainable burn rate before achieving product-market fit. The slow adoption by local hospitality, coupled with the high cost of specialized talent in Edinburgh, will ensure a swift, painful demise as capital runs dry.
