Scenarios

Bull Case

Land-and-expand moat is exceptional — body cameras lead to Cloud, then AI, then Draft One. AI Era Plan reaching saturation at the top end of the agency market means TAM expansion is now international and federal, not domestic.

Bear Case

Civil liberties concerns could generate regulatory backlash in Europe. Still hardware-dependent (Tasers, cameras) — supply chain issues create churn risk.
