That's how it's usually done.

Hi Pearls,

I'm not sure, my sources tell me otherwise.

Eventually we'll see the real numbers.

Apologies for the typos and missing words ;-)

Was Cirata's salesteam even involved in this?

I need to check with my contacts, but I got the feeling that this (again) is more or less not what at seems at the first glance.

More details please.

Is a net new deal or a renewal or an extension of an existing contract?

What's IBM cut on this?

My guess would be at least 30 points, given it's a white labeled product.

How much really ends up on Cirata's side per quarter?

As always I missing transparency.

3-6 months from breakeven?

There are no signs of a turnaround whatsoever.

To be fair he did cut costs, but disguesing renewals as new deals, the slipped deals narrative (a blunt lie I suppose), in books that is misleading investors.

I wish I was wrong, but I told you so.

I never shared that over optimistic outlook (bordering on delusion), but I was kind of hopeful that SK could turn the ship around.

Let's see what Q4 brings, but if we don't see something really significant, I think it's time for SK to leave.

Just my 2 cents.

6 weeks to go...

Will we get real new deals or just TikTok/Linkedin content?

I'm not expecting much for Q4.

It's crystal clear that the deals that supposedly slipped quarter after quarter never existed or were just badly qualified leads.

Any other CEO would have been tarred and feathered by now.

How many posts have we seen about SK visiting customers, partners or prospects?

Apparently those trips don't seem to increase Cirata's revenue.

As a CEO of a company in that situation, his posts about the beauty of SFO (fully agree btw) just feel so awkward and off.

I just don't understand this.

Why is he doing that, does he plan to pursue an Instagram career after Cirata?

That all seems to be so detached from reality.

BTW: I like Dean Martin's Live version of 'I left my heart in SFO' much better :-) Not PC according to today's standards, but still.

More meaningless Linkedin posts, SK in SFO, aka the selfie CEO.

Maybe the slipped deals from last year are hidimg in the San Francisco Bay. ;-)

George O'Connors comment made me laugh.

Boudin Bakery, tourist trap and the clam chowder is mediocre (at best).

First month in Q4 almost over. I wonder if SK will adjust the forecast again end of december...

Has anybody of you seen a Symphony demo yet?

A few thoughts:

A public profile doesn't sell software.

Linkedin isn't real life.

Why should they be getting contracts from the government?

Market heavyweights? Highly paid under-performers would be more accurate.

I don't think anyone in their right state of mind would pay 3 years upfront when engaging with a company on the brink of bankruptcy.

When nothing makes sense anymore, you're either dreaming or it's a cult.

Interviews won't do the trick.

Revenue not promises.

Is it just me, but when I look at SK's Linkedin posts, I feel like he's talking about a different company.

The audacity is mind-blowing.

Apologies for all the typos ;-)

Have ypu seen SK's Linkedin post?

'Trust through transpanrency'

Really?

Were are all the slipped deals?

110 defined opportunities?

Has anyone seen a demo yet? Apparently no one has. I reached out to them, but to no avail. I expected someone would reach out to me, since my business email should have triggered them. Nothing. Execution as SK said.

SK claims it was developed in close cooperation with customers.

Names please...

Watched the first 5 Minutes.

The same old BS.

Pardon my french.
