Low riskTrust signals
More than 3 years active
Founded in 2017, past the statistically most fragile first 3 years.
No legal incidents
No bankruptcy, reorganisation or interim measure in the Belgisch Staatsblad, and the KBO register records a normal legal situation.
Administrative Flags
No strikeouts found in the KBO publications we processed. That series starts in 2021 and has gaps, so this is not a confirmation that there is nothing.

Trajectory (indicative)
Projection over 3 fiscal years from the filed annual accounts, not a forecast, the extended trend.
growing
Equity: growth of ~16.4%/year over 6 fiscal years, indicative, assuming unchanged policy.
Solid line = filed figures · dashed = extended trend · area = indicative range.
How do we compute this?
The trend is a robust median of all pairwise slopes between fiscal years (Theil-Sen), so a single odd year cannot hijack the line. For strictly positive series we also fit a log variant (compound annual growth) and keep whichever describes the figures best.
The area around the projection is 1.8 × the median absolute deviation from the trend, widening each year ahead (×1 / ×1.6 / ×2.2), with a minimum of 8% of the last value. It is an indicative range, not a statistical confidence interval.
A series whose deviations exceed 35% of its level is too volatile: we then deliberately show no projection. Every projection assumes unchanged policy and is blind to non-public information (order book, contracts, funding rounds).
