Honestly, the numbers from the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 suggest it is.

Imitating this isn't just about coding; it requires the organizational shift and the accumulation of proprietary data and algorithms, which takes serious time and capital. Management’s clear linkage between the AI-First strategy and exceeding Q3 2025 expectations shows strong organizational alignment to exploit this asset.
