The industry has a habit of chasing silver bullets. Platforms promise efficiency, but without the rule books that govern their deployment, they rarely scale. Conversely, rule books without visible platforms gather dust. True modernisation lies in mastering both: building the systems that make buildings and writing the rule books that make them work at scale.
