Mitek (MITK) outperforms the Russell 2000 on the AI-provenance re-rate

Quality core, same thesis (identity/doc auth + deepfake scoring, Fraud & Identity +28% YoY, buyback). But near a 52wk high ($19 vs $21) after ~2x off the low -> the identity-fraud tailwind is mostly in the tape (Strong Buy, PE ~42). Marginal edge from residual deepfake-scoring optionality; own-the-leader, limited fresh asymmetry.
