Specificity Achieves Positive Cash Flow and Unveils Strategic Growth Initiatives for 2026

SARASOTA, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / January 20, 2026 / Specificity (OTCID:SPTY), a leading hybrid AdTech company specializing in bot-free, intent-based digital marketing solutions, today announced a series of milestones that underscore its robust financial health and positioning for accelerated growth in the coming year. These developments highlight the company’s commitment to delivering superior value to clients and shareholders alike, amid a rapidly evolving digital advertising landscape plagued by fraud and inefficiency.

In November 2025, Specificity achieved positive operating cash flow ahead of expectations, driven by a surge in new client acquisitions during the fourth quarter. This marks a pivotal shift toward sustainable profitability, with the company adding over $400,000 in annual run-rate revenue in December 2025 alone. "Our focus on human-verified, bot-free targeting is resonating with brands seeking real results," said Jason Wood, CEO of Specificity "By eliminating waste from fraudulent traffic, we’re not only boosting client ROI but also building a resilient business model that positions us for long-term success."

A standout achievement includes the company’s wildly successful inaugural month partnering with the third-largest travel website in Europe, which generates over $75 million annually. Leveraging Specificity’s proprietary AI-powered ad verification and intent data technologies, the campaign delivered an impressive 38X internal rate of return (IRR) through precise, fraud-free targeting. This collaboration exemplifies Specificity’s ability to drive measurable outcomes across industries, from travel and e-commerce to solar energy and retail, and many more, where clients have reported traffic increases of up to 217%, lead generation surges, and revenue growth in the hundreds of thousands.

Further bolstering its growth trajectory, Specificity recently signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Blackpearl Group to develop the world’s only fully integrated AdTech stack. This partnership aims to launch a direct challenge to Big Tech’s fraud-ridden ecosystems, combining Specificity’s audience resolution tools with advanced CRM integrations and first-party data building. Additionally, the company’s effective S-1 registration statement paves the way for access to expansion capital, enabling investments in proprietary technologies like Polygon for hyper-granular targeting and AI-driven analytics.

Financially, Specificity reported revenue of $260,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, reflecting 21.7% growth quarter-over-quarter. Operating expenses declined 37.9% year-over-year to $162,754, demonstrating disciplined cost management. We are already hard at work putting together the 4Q numbers and look forward to releasing those results shortly. With billions of impressions served, many millions of website visits driven, and hundreds of millions in client revenue generated to date, Specificity continues to lead in creating clean, compliant data assets that empower brands in a post-cookie world.

"2025 was a breakthrough year, and 2026 will be one of serious expansion," added Wood. "Our hybrid model-blending creative agency expertise with cutting-edge AdTech-has proven its edge in combating the $84 billion annual fraud in digital advertising. We’re platform-agnostic, focusing on Connected TV (CTV), social, display, and automated workflows to reach high-intent audiences where they are. Investors can expect continued momentum as we capitalize on market shifts toward transparency and efficiency."

Specificity’s innovations have attracted the market’s attention and testimonials from long-term clients and new clients from both small business and enterprise level brands that can be seen on their website. As streaming surpasses traditional TV-with 85% of U.S. households subscribed to platforms and ad views up 45% since 2020-Specificity finds itself perfectly positioned to capture massive market share in this booming sector and has already developed technology to serve connected TV ads to high intent audiences.

  • Collaboration enables integrated device-plus-AI offerings supporting scalable ECG analysis, visualization, and report generation

  • Combination of single-lead wearable devices and AI algorithms creating a pathway towards cost-efficient Holter-style monitoring solutions

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / January 20, 2026 / NeuralCloud Solutions Inc. ("NeuralCloud"), a subsidiary of AI/ML Innovations Inc. ("AIML" or the "Company") (CSE:AIML)(OTCQB:AIMLF)(FWB:42FB), is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with Movesense Ltd, a medical device manufacturer and wearable sensor technology provider based in Finland, designating Movesense as one of NeuralCloud’s primary ECG device partners.

Through Insight360™, users can generate customizable ECG reports using no-code, drag-and-drop dashboards designed for both everyday wellness users and professional clinical environments. CardioYield™ enables structured Holter-style review and reporting, while MaxYield™ serves as the underlying AI engine that denoises ECG signals, labels PQRST waveforms, and produces machine-readable interval data.

"This collaboration allows us to move beyond analytics in isolation and deliver a complete, integrated cardiac solution," said Esmat Naikyar, President of NeuralCloud and Chief Product Officer at AIML. "By working with Movesense as a core device partner, we can combine high-quality single-lead ECG capture with advanced AI algorithms to support new monitoring models, including pathways toward Holter-style analysis and reporting using more accessible devices."

"Movesense provides a proven, scalable device platform that allows us to bundle hardware and AI software into unified offerings. This approach supports faster deployment, broader market reach, and more competitive solutions across wellness, monitoring, and clinical use cases."

"Movesense was built to enable flexible, high-quality ECG acquisition across a wide range of applications," said Jussi Kaasinen, CEO of Movesense. "Partnering with NeuralCloud allows our wearable devices to be paired with advanced AI-driven analysis and reporting. Together, we can support innovative cardiac monitoring solutions that are scalable, cost-effective, and designed to integrate seamlessly into modern digital health workflows."

"This collaboration reflects our broader strategy to embed AI-powered cardiac intelligence directly into real-world workflows," added Paul Duffy, Executive Chairman and CEO of AI/ML Innovations. "By combining wearable ECG hardware with our software platforms, we strengthen our go-to-market position and expand our ability to deliver complete, device-enabled cardiac solutions."

Trustpoint Xposure Documents How a Law Firm Became the Default Choice Before the First Call

How AI Driven Discovery and Authority Recognition Reshaped Client Selection in Legal Services

POST FALLS, IDAHO / ACCESS Newswire / January 19, 2026 / Background and Initial Challenge

A mid sized law firm with a strong local reputation reached an unexpected growth plateau after years of steady expansion. Despite continued investment in website improvements, branding, and general online visibility, inbound leads stalled and new client inquiries became inconsistent.

Leadership began noticing a shift in how potential clients described their discovery process. More than 60 percent of new inquiries referenced AI tools as part of their initial research, often before visiting any law firm website. In several cases, the firm was not mentioned at all in AI generated answers, despite strong historical performance in traditional search.

This gap revealed a new competitive risk. Visibility alone was no longer determining consideration.

A Fundamental Shift in How Clients Choose Firms

Client discovery behavior had changed. Prospective clients were no longer comparing five or ten firms across search results. Instead, they were asking direct questions such as who handles this type of case or which law firm is trusted for this issue.

AI systems increasingly responded with a single firm recommendation. Internal analysis showed that when the firm was not surfaced by AI tools, it was excluded from consideration entirely before any human interaction occurred.

In practice, this meant competitive differentiation was happening earlier than ever, often before branding, messaging, or credentials were reviewed.

The Strategic Approach

Trustpoint Xposure reframed the challenge as an authority recognition issue rather than a marketing quality problem. AI systems do not evaluate persuasive language, visual design, or claims of expertise. They evaluate consistency, validation, and corroborated signals across trusted third party environments.

The strategy focused on aligning the firm with how AI systems assess credibility. Key initiatives included strengthening structured AEO signals, reinforcing reputation management across independent platforms, and securing targeted media placement to establish clear external validation.

The objective was to ensure AI systems could confidently identify the firm as a reliable and authoritative entity without relying on the firm’s own marketing materials.

Trustpoint Xposure is currently the only PR agency in the United States that has completed formal AEO certification and applies that certification through direct media access and AI answer validation.

Implementation and Early Results

Within four to six weeks of implementing the new structure, AI generated answers began to change. The firm started appearing consistently in response to relevant legal queries, often positioned as the primary recommendation rather than one of many options.

During intake calls, more than 45 percent of new clients referenced AI tools directly, frequently repeating language seen in AI summaries. Lead quality improved first, followed by increased volume.

Measurable Business Impact

Within three months, inbound leads increased by more than 110 percent. Average sales cycles shortened by approximately 30 percent because trust had already been established before the first conversation.

Revenue stabilized quickly and then returned to sustained growth, enabling leadership to move forward with initiatives that had previously been delayed. These included hiring additional staff, expanding practice areas, and increasing long term investment in authority driven visibility efforts designed to perform in AI mediated discovery environments.

Key Takeaways for Professional Services Firms

This case illustrates that success in AI driven discovery is not driven by short term tactics or incremental optimization. Firms asking how to rank first in AI search must focus on durable authority that is recognizable outside their own website.

Authority must be structured, validated, and reinforced across trusted third party environments that AI systems can independently verify. Firms that adapt early gain a compounding advantage. They are not simply found more often. They are selected before the first call ever takes place.

The film follows hockey prodigy Dean Youngblood, who leaves Detroit to pursue his professional dreams with the Hamilton Mustangs in Canada. Raised on discipline and toughness by his father, Dean enters the league with undeniable talent – and an arrogance that quickly puts him at odds with teammates and rivals alike. As he confronts toxic behavior both on and off the ice, Dean must decide what kind of man and player he wants to become.

The cast includes Ashton James (Boxcutter, Revenge of the Black Best Friend) in the title role of Dean Youngblood, Blair Underwood (Longlegs, Deep Impact, LA Law) as his father Blane Youngblood, Shawn Doyle (The Expanse, Fargo, Big Love) as Coach Chadwick, Alexandra McDonald (Night Blooms, Testament) as Jessie Chadwick, Henri Picard (The Dishwasher, For Those Who Don’t Read Me) as Denis Sutton, Donald MacLean Jr. (Workin’ Moms, Nurses) as Carl Racki, Olunike Adeliyi (The Expanse, Workin’ Moms) as Ruby Youngblood, Emidio Lopes (Painkiller, The Changeling) as Kelly Youngblood and Tamara Podemski (Outer Range, Reservation Dogs) as Ms. McGill.

YOUNGBLOOD made its world premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received a rapturous response from audiences – particularly the festival’s passionate hockey community – and earned strong critical acclaim.

The trailer and key art for YOUNGBLOOD are now available. Produced by Aircraft Pictures in association with Dolphin Entertainment and Canadian distributor Photon Films and Media, the film will be released in theaters across North America on March 6, 2026, by Well Go USA Entertainment in the U.S. and Photon Films and Media in Canada.

ABOUT YOUNGBLOOD

Dean Youngblood was raised by his father, Blane, on a diet of toughness and hockey. When Dean is invited to join the Hamilton Mustangs, he travels to Canada from Detroit where his skill commands respect and his arrogance earns him fast enemies. Coach Chadwick, resentful of being saddled with such a toxic player, keeps Dean benched game after game. Dean’s frustration builds, culminating in a violent outburst involving rival goon Carl Racki that costs the Mustangs a significant win.

As Team Captain Sutton takes him under his wing, Dean begins to buck Blane’s teachings and his growing maturity spurs a relationship with Jessie – Coach Chadwick’s daughter – who gives Dean a run for his money on and off the ice. His newfound resolve draws the ire of Racki, who provokes Dean during a game by attacking and seriously injuring Sutton. As the final game of the playoffs approaches, so does his showdown with Racki and Dean’s choice as to what kind of man he wants to be.

General Atomics Completes Payload Integration for NASA TSIS-2 Mission

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 13, 2026 / General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA‑EMS) has successfully integrated a dual‑instrument payload onto a GA‑150 satellite for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor‑2 (TSIS‑2) mission. This milestone extends the decades‑long continuous record of solar irradiance, a dataset critical to advancing scientific understanding of how solar variability influences the Earth system and its atmosphere.

GA-EMS advances TSIS-2 mission, integrating dual-instrument payload onto its GA-150 satellite set for sun-synchronous orbit to gather high-quality continuous data to monitor environmental changes and atmospheric variances from space.

GA‑EMS designed and manufactured the GA‑150 satellite at its Centennial, Colorado facility, where payload integration was completed. The work included performance checkouts and instrument alignment. Building on these milestones, the company has received an Authority to Operate (ATO) under NASA’s risk management framework, underscoring operational readiness. A full spacecraft test will be conducted to verify end‑to‑end communications and overall system performance going into 2026.

Unlike its predecessor, TSIS‑1, which operates aboard the International Space Station, TSIS‑2 will fly as a freestanding mission on a dedicated GA‑150 satellite. This independent platform will allow TSIS‑2 to collect uninterrupted measurements in sun‑synchronous orbit, ideal for satellite missions gathering high‑quality data to monitor weather, environmental changes, and atmospheric variances from space.

"Integrating the TSIS‑2 payload onto the GA‑150 is a significant milestone for our team and the mission," said Scott Forney, president of GA‑EMS. "The dedicated GA‑150 platform will help ensure NASA receives the high‑quality data this mission is designed to deliver."

The dual‑instrument payload, developed under a separate NASA Goddard contract awarded to the University of Colorado Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), includes the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) and Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM). These sensors contribute to continuous and vital long‑term data measurements necessary for quantifying the sun’s influence on Earth’s ozone layer, atmospheric circulation, clouds, and ecosystems throughout extensive solar energy cycles.

"Building on the outstanding success of the TSIS-1 mission, which has delivered the most accurate and stable measurements of the total and spectral solar irradiance since its 2017 launch, the TSIS-2 mission will allow our team at LASP to continue to improve this essential continuous solar data record," said Erik Richard, Ph.D., LASP principal investigator for TSIS-2. "Leveraging LASP’s long-standing leadership in solar irradiance measurements and instrument calibration, and in close partnership with NASA and General Atomics, we are proud to deliver the total and spectral solar irradiance monitors that will extend this irreplaceable time-series with unprecedented accuracy for the global scientific community."
