Dear stakeholders,

For the last few years, most of the attention has been on the models. How intelligent are they? How much do they cost? Which model is ahead?

Those questions still matter. But the bigger shift is where value is moving.

The shift in value

The shift in value

AI systems can now work on complex tasks for hours. The cost of running the most capable AI models has fallen dramatically. Open models are rapidly closing the gap with the best closed models. Enterprises have access to more intelligence, from more providers, at lower cost than ever before.

As intelligence becomes abundant, the scarce things change.

The scarce things are context, trust and the ability to put AI to work.

The scarce things are context, trust and the ability to put AI to work.

A model does not know how a company's supply chain works. It does not know why a particular pricing decision was made, where critical knowledge sits inside an enterprise, which rules can be changed, or when human intervention is needed. Much of this knowledge lives across databases, documents, software systems and often in people's heads.  

When we started Fractal in 2000, our belief was simple: better decisions create better companies. That became our vision, to power every human decision in the enterprise, and it has not changed since.

What has changed is the technology. For much of our history we powered those decisions with data, analytics and machine learning. As AI grew from narrow statistical models into the systems we have today, so did we. We are a pureplay AI company. We did not adopt AI as a trend. We have worked on it for our entire existence.

We have also developed a deep understanding of how large enterprises make decisions and how those decisions translate into outcomes. We understand the domains in which they operate, the data and systems underneath them, and the human behavior that ultimately determines whether technology gets adopted.

Along the way, we have built deep expertise in consumer goods and retail, financial services, healthcare and life sciences, technology, media and telecommunications, and other industries. We have invested consistently in AI research and built our own AI platforms and products. We have earned the trust of some of the world's largest to deploy AI in parts of their businesses where accuracy matters.

This is now the hard problem in enterprise Al.

Companies have spent the last few years experimenting with AI. They are now asking a much bigger question: how do we redesign the way the enterprise works?

A bank can rethink the entire fraud process, from monitoring and investigation to dispute resolution. A consumer goods company can connect pricing, promotions and supply instead of optimizing each independently. A pharmaceutical company can answer a doctor's question in seconds, work that used to take days.

The opportunity has moved from individual tasks to entire workflows.

Trust becomes even more important as AI takes on more responsibility.

Enterprise AI has to understand the context of the enterprise, work securely with proprietary data and knowledge, and operate with clear controls and accountability. It also has to be designed around people, with a clear understanding of where human judgment adds value, where AI performs better, and how the two work together.

FY26: A landmark year

FY26: A landmark year

FY26 (April 2025 to March 2026) was a landmark year for us. We became a public company. Our clients expanded their work with us. We increased our investment in AI research and continued to build products for the future.

FY26 (April 2025 to March 2026) was a landmark year for us. We became a public company. Our clients expanded their work with us. We increased our investment in AI research and continued to build products for the future.

We believe the ability to solve these problems will distinguish the companies that create real value from AI. The last year gave us greater confidence in our ability to do exactly that.

Our results reflected this progress.

Our Net Promoter Score was 78 for the year and reached 81 in the fourth quarter, one of the highest we have recorded. We increased our investment in R&D to 6.4% of revenue.

These numbers are important. The trust behind them matters even more.

More than 100 of the world's largest enterprises work with Fractal. Our ambition is to become increasingly central to how they use AI to run and transform their businesses.

Research and development

Research and development

Our R&D is producing AI with increasingly advanced capabilities. Vaidya.ai (Cogentiq Health), our healthcare AI, can reason through complex medical questions and has demonstrated world-leading performance on difficult medical reasoning. Fathom Deep Research can investigate complex questions, reason across large amounts of information and produce evidence-backed answers. PiEvolve, our AI for data science and machine learning, can autonomously test and improve solutions to difficult machine-learning problems.

We are also turning these capabilities into products that solve real business problems. Asper.ai is helping consumer goods companies bring pricing, promotions and demand planning together. Flyfish.ai uses a team of AI agents to perform sales work.

Underlying much of what we are building is a simple principle: advances across frontier and open models should make our products and solutions better as well. Our role is to make these models useful inside an enterprise by connecting them with the company's knowledge and data, giving them the tools and controls to act, and making them reliable enough to run real business processes.

The stronger the models become, the more we can build on top of them.

The economics of AI

The economics of AI

There is another change underway that we believe will shape the next decade.

For several years, the economics of AI have been discussed largely in terms of cost, particularly the cost of running AI models. That cost has been falling rapidly. As it falls, the more interesting question is the value AI can create. The conversation is shifting from cost per token to value per token.

The first wave of enterprise AI has focused heavily on efficiency: using AI to perform existing work faster and at lower cost. There is enormous value in that.

The larger opportunity comes from being able to do things that were previously too expensive, too slow or simply impractical. As the cost of intelligence falls, companies can apply it to many more decisions, more often and at far greater scale.

We have organized ourselves around this opportunity, with three priorities: AI-led Transformation, AI Foundations and AI for Work & Workforce.

We have organized ourselves around this opportunity, with three priorities: AI-led Transformation, AI Foundations and AI for Work & Workforce.

This is why we believe AI can reduce the effort required for existing work while dramatically expanding the amount of work worth doing.

Some tasks will take a fraction of the effort they take today. Some existing work will disappear. At the same time, thousands of new applications of intelligence will become economically viable.

We are already seeing this in our conversations with clients.

AI has moved into core enterprise budgets. Programs are getting broader. Clients increasingly want to redesign complete business processes. They want greater control over their AI and their proprietary knowledge. They want the flexibility to use different models. They increasingly want partners who will stand behind business outcomes.

Our three pillars

Our three pillars

We have organized ourselves around this opportunity, with three priorities: AI-led Transformation, AI Foundations and AI for Work & Workforce.

AI-led Transformation helps enterprises redesign complete business processes with AI, moving from individual AI use cases to workflows that can reason, decide and act.

AI Foundations builds the underlying data, knowledge and technology that allow AI to work reliably inside a large enterprise. This includes bringing together knowledge scattered across the organization so that AI understands the company’s context and can act on it securely.

AI for Work & Workforce helps enterprises rethink how people work alongside AI, including how they hire, learn, make decisions and get work done when every employee can have AI as a co-worker.

Cogentiq is the technology platform underneath all three. It brings together AI agents and tools, connects them securely to enterprise data and systems, and enables them to work together to run business workflows.

The road ahead

The road ahead

AI is progressing faster than enterprises can absorb it. The gap between what the technology can do and what companies have deployed is widening. Closing that gap is the work ahead of us.

Becoming a public company has given us a new responsibility: earning the trust of our shareholders every day. When someone puts their hard-earned savings into Fractal, we take that responsibility seriously. We will invest for the long term, maintain financial discipline and build Fractal as an institution that can endure.

There will be periods when the technology moves faster than we do. There will be ideas we get wrong and have to change. The standard we hold ourselves to is whether we learn quickly enough, stay close enough to our clients and continue building things of consequence.

The opportunity in front of us is extraordinary. Intelligence is becoming abundant. Every enterprise will have to decide what to do with it. We want Fractal to be the company they trust to turn that intelligence into better decisions, better actions and better businesses.

Thank you for your trust.
