Standard composables like Box carry a "performance tax" due to deep UI trees. By mastering DrawScope, you can "flatten" your UI and render directly to the canvas, bypassing unnecessary recomposition.

In a polarized 2025 market, enterprise software companies can no longer win through broad consensus—only through brand clarity. As politics and procurement split along values‑driven vs. mission‑driven lines, vendors must signal exactly who they serve and why. Firms like Palantir thrive through unapologetic mission alignment; Salesforce risks misalignment as federal priorities shift; Microsoft succeeds by maintaining coherent dual alignment. In this environment, clarity becomes a strategic moat—shaping trust, renewals, talent, and long‑term resilience.
