We start with the fundamental value proposition of commercial EDA, which is rooted in expertise to improve the efficiency and predictability of designing electronics (I focus on chip design). Of course, expertise in software and algorithms is critical, along with human interface design to support deeply intricate technical decision-making and analysis. So, software is a critical delivery vehicle, no doubt. But is the industry’s value really in the software, or the expertise that created the software? Here is some evidence that points in the other direction.
