Bottom line
The market is focused on the headline‑grabbing 38% revenue jump and 77% EBITDA surge, but the real story lies in the **quiet rollout of runtime data into Vector**, which could become a massive, multi‑year growth lever. The binding constraint is the **capacity to ingest and monetize that data at scale while keeping cloud costs from eroding margins**. Management says the integration is "very, very early" and offers no timeline for revenue impact - my view changes if Q3 shows **any measurable % of Vector revenue coming from runtime signals**.

The 30-second version

  • Sleeper story: Runtime data is finally inside Vector - a quiet, long‑term growth engine no one is pricing yet
  • Headline headline: 38% strategic revenue growth and 77% adjusted EBITDA jump look spectacular but rest on a single vector surge
  • Red flag: Metric drift - day‑28 ROAS shipped without any disclosed lift rate; new “strategic revenue” language replaces earlier disclosed segment growth
