- 2 of 8Forward-deployed engineerA title popularised by Palantir for engineers who work inside the customer's environment, building and integrating on-site rather than on the core product. Rare in Stockholm and a deliberate operating choice, so its presence says something specific about how the company sells and delivers.

Company health
Filed with a public registry- SurvivalRunway ~0 moLoss-making in its latest filed accounts (FY2025). cash 0.8 MSEK, loss 19 MSEK over the year (1.6 MSEK/month), revenue 1.6 MSEK. Cash divided by that burn is ~0 months of runway. Filed facts, but the burn is the accounting result rather than true cash flow, and a funding round raised since the filing date does not show here yet. This is a year-end figure, and the company has 8 open roles advertised right now. Advertising a job commits to a salary, which a filing this old cannot account for, and money raised since the year end does not appear here.

Wrong about Modal?
The address, the headcount, the logo, a role that closed. Tell me which and I will fix it.
