A few themes kept surfacing this quarter:

* AI and digital sovereignty stand out as areas where organisations are willing to invest significantly. Budgets are being found, and in some cases expanded, as decisions, discovery, and web traffic patterns are reshaped.

* Digital sovereignty is moving from policy into practice, influencing everyday choices about platforms, vendors, and control.

* Many teams are no longer reacting to change itself, but to accumulated complexity. Tools, processes, and expectations layered over time. The question is increasingly where to simplify.
