I'm thinking more along the lines of having the tools, institutional memory, and back-end infrastructure to create new software, and maybe custom-built Computers that are faster at certain algorithms (ie, what 3e called 'Dedicated').

Is there an existing Limitation for Gadgeteer for 'Programming and computer hardware only; no weapons, armor, or other gear'? The best I can think of is the old reliable, Accessibility, at maybe -50%.
