You start to avoid that sunk cost.
You're a huge, huge advocate of partnerships.
I mean, that's right there in the founding terms of Empirics.
Talk a little about that in terms of entering the market today.
I think the term is a glass cannon.
If it works, you're going to be incredibly successful incredibly quickly.
It's just not particularly resilient.
Correct.
There's not the gigascale factors that create that center of gravity.
It creates that inevitable momentum.
And then there's not that speed.
I think a key measure of any partnership is don't chase the logo, chase the results.
A friend of mine described it as cargo culting on LinkedIn where you see I'm X this and X that right there in their tagline.
And they said from a talent perspective, they won't work with people like that because it's not really about where you've been.
It's about what you've done.
Correct.
And I think that's essential for partnerships, whether you want to go with a tried and true OEM in the market, because you understand that that team and that division has a reputation for execution.
Or if you want to go with a new entrant or someone who's from an adjacent field, it's not about the bonafides of their logos or anything they can say on a slide.
It's about what's their execution bias.
What's the proof that that partner is your architect, your engineer, your financer, your whatever.
