Everything underused is game for efficiency

Oversold & Underused

When demand is more and the asset exists somewhere

Office Without Overhead

Malls being repurposed for offices, class, labs. Andco and Industriousoffice democratize office space for meeting purpose and pay per usage or need. This is unbundling of the office space as storage, place to meet, place to bond. While earlier offsite was one way to bond, now the tables are reversed.

Now anyone can open an office without much overhead. 

Many functions are being chopped and repurposed into different verticals.

For example, in Toastmasters, I had to go fundraising for an event talking to Costco and other bagel and coffee places asking for breakfast donation. I have to do that for printing for model kits for children to be engaged with science. Earlier I would have probably done this as part of Girl Scouts, but now it becomes a stand alone thing and based on the family's conviction of doing such events consistently. The unbundling of clubs caused by covid.

Zepto is a funny riff on what you can already get from the corner store, but I guess with the choice you want on an "infinite shelf" like Amazon calls it. Professor Galloway's the last last mile is a webvan-coming-back-full-circle for customers for real. An MVP of this is corner store, assuming your basic needs were met there.

All this usage of whats already built and being underused, sounds like anything new to be built now has a big barrier. It might be that new construction will only happen for repair or when existing things cant be repurposed to meet the need.  Modula vertical modules, squeeze the space out of warehouses.

Dronamics says, "We’re looking for underserved airports, using time slots where there is no passenger traffic. In the United States there are 17,000 airports, but only about 400 are commercially used. The rest don’t have regular service at all.Deccan Odyssey too started with underused runways. Democratising airjourney for army personnel.

Honda is making hybrid evtol. Currently Dronamics is powered by internal combustion engines, maybe they will be the next ones to join the hybrid bandwagon.
