You tell me in 5 years if that actually worked out.

I suspect probably not unless they were following/copying some very tried and true path of an upstart.

'New Models' have so many dynamic aspects, you need 'good people and leadership' to do it, and generally it's hard for them to be truly copied.

Some smart consultants and a well-lead offshore team could make a run at it ... but it's a bit risky I think.

I can see how people might think that would work but I'm skeptical.
