I'm struggling to understand what it is you're even asking.

I think, in part, this is because you make several assertions that either make no sense, or are so peppered with "biz-dev-speak" that I can't even understand what the original assertion is.

One example:

> time was dealt with 20th-century, office-first, protocols. Hierarchical, cultural and physical protocols that double down as constraints...

What does that even mean? How does one "double down" "constraints"? What is a "physical protocol"?

Would it be difficult to just ask the question without all the bizarre preamble?

Something like "how are makers and managers using software and services in 2022, and how does that compare to pre-covid use?"

I appreciate your suggestions. I will tone it down, simplify it and try to repost it again.
