Lattice’s credible path is not “most compute,” but “most control per watt” in edge/embedded and select server-adjacent
control-plane roles. If comms/compute demand normalizes and industrial/auto stops being a headwind, the model can re-accelerate from a cyclical trough. Upside convexity comes from layering higher-value security and workflow integration (cloud build/verification, certified modules,
supply-assurance tiers) that raise switching friction and smooth cyclicality, while the market still likely pays a lower sales
multiple than today as the cycle normalizes.
