This is a tag question, used to confirm or check understanding.

--explanation--

A tag question is a short question added to the end of a sentence, used to confirm information or invite agreement. It is formed by:

  • Taking the auxiliary verb (e.g., would, is, has, will) from the main sentence.

  • Using the opposite form: positive to negative or negative to positive.

  • Adding the appropriate pronoun.

In Lisa's sentence:

  • The main clause is It would affect a lot of tech companies (positive).

  • The tag is wouldn't it? (negative form of would).

This confirms the statement and invites agreement or feedback.
