You know, you get what you pay for at the end of the day.
27:08
Yeah, no, I tend to agree.
27:10
Like any work gets you to a scene.
27:15
The good work tends to come from, not always the case, I'm sure, but generally speaking, in my experience from what I've seen to date, good surveys tend to come from the smaller independent surveyors or smaller practices.
27:28
It seems to be coming from more like the larger corporates.
27:34
But at the same time, I suppose surveyors are under severe pressure.
27:37
They're given a certain volume of work and it has to be done within that week or whatever.

You can see like affected timber inside much easier than you might see some minor cracked tile somewhere on the drone survey that you only might see when you get back.

And, and so I, I'm interested in, in how you're thinking about the way that this AI trade seems to be infusing itself into not just these high-tech US firms, but all over the world.
20:45
If I can, I'd like to overlay that on top of two markets in particular.
20:51
One is Japan and one is Korea.
20:54
And just go through-- 'Cause I think there's two things that have happened in these markets in particular, um, that, that might be interesting to explore a little bit more on top of the AI, uh, on top of the AI that's happened.
21:07
But in both markets, there have been big regulatory changes, uh, that have occurred that I think have set this up, um, to, to kind of happen the way, way it has.
21:18
But if you look at Japan first, so in June of twenty twenty-one, yeah, the corporate governance code, um, was effectively revised.
21:27
So, uh, started to care more about things like, uh, return on equity, capital allocation, et cetera.

What are some of the newer ones that ha-ha-are not as well understood by, by participants in the market?
