Capital running on two clocks?
Physical infrastructure may remain useful for years while the competitive frontier it supports resets within months.
How should capital be allocated when the technology it finances can alter revenue, shorten competitive asset life and increase the capital required to remain at the frontier?
Physical infrastructure may remain useful for years while the competitive frontier it supports resets within months.
Capital, revenue and technological velocity can increasingly determine one another rather than follow independent forecast paths.
Historical return may be a poor guide when the technological environment can change materially before new capital is fully deployed.
