So I'm gonna ask you one more question. Okay. Even while I do that, if anybody else has some questions they wanna add to the q and a, now is a good time. And, yeah, the one thing I was gonna ask is, what is one thing about metric trees that you wish you had known sooner? The fact that they exist? Yeah. Yeah. To to be honest, once I once I saw the, like, the tree concept itself, Right? The company that I was working for when I was a business analyst, they they didn't make, like, revenue numbers available, but they did have an well, like, a North Star metric, which was, you know, number of bookings, let's say. And I'd I would just like, people would I I would go to into the president's office, and I would present because they would do the quarterly update, and they were trying to, like, put together all all all these different charts and all. They're trying to create a narrative. Right? Like, you're you you have all of these, different elements, you know, marketing and sales and this and that and the other. And the the tree itself, the idea of this, like, graphical representation of the business with a hierarchy and the dependencies and the different levels and and and the and the different steps that would have saved me a lot of turmoil in, like, answering this question. Because, hey. If I had the if I had the tree that mapped, you know, all the way from bookings down to marketing efforts, down to sales efforts, down to operations efforts, I could then even come up with levers because they were always looking to grow, but they couldn't figure out, you know and a lot of the experiments were done randomly at Yeah. Sometimes they would run one experiment and then just change it halfway through before you had collected enough enough data. I know a lot of people get frustrated with that one. So I just wish that that that I knew that that I could do this. Right? I just wish that I knew that this sort of thing was possible, that I could then influence the business.
