The performance advantage, especially at 1250 V and 1700 V, suggests significant proprietary steps in manufacturing and integration that are not easily copied. It’s a classic case of tacit knowledge embedded in the production line, making it difficult for competitors to match the reliability and performance profile quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"organization\"\u003eOrganization: Strategic Alignment and Execution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the organization is set up to capture this advantage.
