It’s not too much to hope that HME reduces those compliance costs. However, I believe it is too much to assume there will be any material adoption before it can demonstrate that reduction.

Reduction of trust is not a value add, it is a cost reduction. Maybe that cost is blocking a valuable product/service but either that product/service’s value is less than the current cost of trust OR trust has to be far more costly in the context of the new product/service.

It’s only the latter that I find interesting which is why tend to be pretty hard on suggestions that this will do much for anything that currently exists. At best, it will improve profits marginally for those incumbents.

What is something where the price of trust is so catastrophically high in modern society AND HME can reduce that cost by orders of magnitude? Let’s talk about that rather than HME.
