We have a lot of investment companies and a lot of people who work with HG and either invested with us or in our ecosystem that have, you know, the software is quite deterministic, right?
You it's processing a particular workflow that needs to be right, you know, my taxes or or s or a particular sort of medical process and so on.
And obviously the models are.
ultimately probabilistic, right?
That they're they're they're giving you an outcome based on a series of inputs.
How do you think about workflows like the ones you just talked about, where there's an element of sort of needs to be deterministic, it needs to be right for the end customer and how that plays through over time or how you think that might mature in the next few years?
Because it is a question we get we get a lot.
I mean it's certainly one of the themes we felt is important in our in our investment portfolio, and it sounds consistent with what you're saying, which is there's always traditionally been an application layer and there's almost like the human layer, the person entering the data and making decisions on financial recommendation or a or a healthcare recommendation.
the extension of the application layer into the kind of human process, like how much of the work can be done essentially by by the machine or by the by the processor in that context.
And therefore how much of the value is in the technology versus in the kind of the user for for want of a simpler expression.
Do you have a point of view of what a you know the job might look like for an average lawyer, attorney, or a or a medical professional in a few years' time?
Do you have a sense of for some of the maybe some of their some of the businesses you're invested in or you're creating, do you do you do you see how the end user sort of day may change once once deployed?
great example.
We have similar experience in some of our legal software companies where essentially you're trying to build a you know, you're trying to use the capability to to automate workflow.
And it's that combination between understanding legal process and legal knowledge, what should I actually be thinking about and asking, and then complementing that with the capability of the model, right?
You need both in one place to actually make it effective.
You can't really just prompt to kind of, oh, could you draft me a legal document that does X?
It's it's a it's a much more complex workflow.
But once you can capture that, it's incredibly
That's where the productivity comes from.
