How are companies adapting to what's going on from a policy and regulatory perspective around the world? Is it changing the way they look at risk from that standpoint, or is it just simply we just adapt when it happens? And then is there any organization, or have you seen any organizations take what in essence is a compliance requirement and turn it into a competitive advantage so it's not just something they have to report on, but actually something that benefits the business?

David WeeksGUEST
You know, I think from, I'll take the first part, you know, adapting supply chains is one of those things that, again, depends on where they are, right? But even in the regulatory realm, I mean, uncertainty is the kind of the order of the day and I think they have to evolve again the culture people part of that equation uh breaking down silos a lot of these I can imagine one of these you know regulatory fines maybe by CBP Etc that it's like it's by the item or by the instance right and so the question is is like if it was flagged in the morning Could someone still place a PO that afternoon? And then you start talking about the orchestration behind how that signals transfers from department to department, gets triaged, and then gets to the right people at the right time so that we can address the regulatory infraction.

David WeeksGUEST
It is so huge and systems play the biggest part of this because if it's in the cloud, you can automatically prevent PO from going out, right? So I think it's increasingly important to monitor suppliers, monitor the supply networks, especially with tariff and trade policy, but also the BIS 50% rule came out, we're seeing a lot of export control restrictions And sanctions exposure hasn't gone anywhere.

David WeeksGUEST
Now, the question on, you know, has anyone turned compliance into competitive advantage? I think they turn it into a competitive sourcing advantage.

Brian StraitHOST
So do you see a lot of examples where you can carry some of that specific stuff from one sector into another?
