Question #1
Given Advaithi’s established playbook of prioritizing margin discipline over top-line growth, how will she balance the need for aggressive investment and speed to capture the $6.5B data center opportunity against her instinct to protect profitability at all costs?

Question #3
Faced with the choice between using capital to support the stock through buybacks versus making aggressive, potentially margin-dilutive investments to accelerate the AI pivot, where does Advaithi’s true conviction as a capital allocator lie?
