The Ethical Read
Why It Falls Short, in Plain English
authID clears the business-activity screen. Where it falls short is income purity: around 12% of its income right now is non-operating interest income, against a roughly 5% ceiling, so it does not pass. That reflects what it earns today, not the business itself, and it could clear the screen if its operating revenue grows and the interest share falls.
