Recent excesses across different search modes of the collaborations at the LHC seem to
indicate the presence of a Higgs-like scalar particle at 125 GeV. Using the current data sets,
we review and update analyses addressing the extent to which this state is compatible with
the Standard Model, and provide two contextual answers for how it might instead fit into
alternative scenarios with enlarged electroweak symmetry breaking sectors.
