So therefore, this is the third dimension to surf verticals because each of them has a different language, different applications.
So we are having a very...
let's say, three-dimensional matrix, but there's a clear lead, and this is driven by the business lines.
You're right.
When I explain my organization, you can identify the problems or the opportunities, put it that way.
And here comes the point.
I mean, I talked about we are investing six and a half billion R&D, and obviously this goes into different businesses, and some of them have a
higher share this is a eight percent on average some of them are sitting on definitely more than 10 13 15 some others are more on three on four so capital allocation is it r&d is in capex also spendings that's done business by business each of them has a business case and we allocate capital in some cases we we obviously want to allocate more capital in in higher growth areas and i talk organic capital allocation if it comes to m&a this is something that happens on the board
I mean, we come up with proposals and we see where we want to spend more money and where we focus on in our M&A and where not.
But then here comes the point.

one tech company program.

Because you're completely right, we are very much boxed.
Below these businesses, I talked like digital industries, we have software and then we have automation.
Automation are three boxes, factory automation, process automation, motion control.
Below that, you have even segments.
So I just didn't give you that complexity as well.
So we're very much boxed.
And what we want to do is we are bringing, we're taking layers out.
