We are not focusing on the transaction amount, but on its roadmap: the ECRI core will concentrate more on setting safety standards and resilience frameworks, while the independent Staritas, with capital backing, will fully sprint to transform these frameworks into scalable, AI-driven solutions. This is a perfect strategy of &ldquo;separation of R&amp;D and production&rdquo; and &ldquo;value release.&rdquo;</p>
