External Factors
Industry Trends

Competitive Moat
The company's moat is based on a 20+ year track record, a diversified business portfolio, and experience with large-scale government clients. Sustainability is challenged by a stressed balance sheet and 'Default' credit status.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to government infrastructure spending and central bank policy interest rates, which directly impact the cost of capital and project viability.
Consumer Behavior
Increased demand for professional and integrated facility management in public infrastructure is a key trend affecting service demand.
Geopolitical Risks
Geopolitical risks are managed through geographical diversification of projects to hedge against localized business environment disruptions.

Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on government entities for contract awards and timely payments (B2G risk).
Technology Obsolescence Risk
