Capex Requirements

Specialized design services demand a high level of creativity, customization, and specialized knowledge. While certain routine aspects of design can be enhanced by AI tools, the sector still greatly relies on human touch and innovation. Regulatory barriers are moderate and do not significantly obstruct AI adoption, and the capital investment is balanced between digital and minimal physical infrastructure needs. Data and technology are used moderately, but there is still a heavy emphasis on human input.
