◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building mental health diagnostics or clinical decision software, you now have a competitor with a 6-year head start, 250,000 hours of validated data, and $52m in the bank—and their core IP (turning brain signals into actionable output) is now proven. Your path to market just got harder; their path to 510(k) approval or acquisition just got shorter.
