I think that's confirming my intuition. Getting that innovative paint algorithm to the point it can simply plug and play with current robo-paint-arm in 8/10 factories will involve:

- developing the algo (ie knowing the domain intimately) - verifying the algo against the four major robo-paint-arms in production (probably more) - meeting the safety testing criteria (expensive) - demonstrating the savings in paint vs cost of other expenses (ie we save 1% paint but the stop start nature clogs up 10% more often which is a manual fix) - sales and marketing

wow, I just see problems don't I ?

But compare that to "If you tie this box to every cow, you will be able to tell which ones are active, which lethargic, which have eaten grass from the top of the field and can then sell their milk for more"
