Quote from @Arthur Tolentino: Great breakdown — I’m very aligned with the “tech clutter audit” mindset and consolidating wherever possible.Curious where you land on Breezeway and Safely in that framework.Do you view either as true leverage (operational risk reduction / scale enablers), or more as “nice-to-have” tools that don’t justify the added complexity and monthly cost at ~5–10 units?
