What's your product like at the moment and what the roadmap looks like? For sure. We're in this very interesting transition period from, you know, accounting firm that had tech to a company that is generally eliminating manual journal entries and really trying to be the, you know, the market leader in financial operations automation. That's what we are. We're in the middle of that transition, right? Because we're much more than just an accounting firm. So like what you'll see on our website now is software and services, 2 buckets, right? Where we're really going with it and how it's, it's working in practice is we have our QuickBooks Xbooks apps that are in the App Store, right? The accruer is that app. We have a bunch of other apps that are available via our early access program. So if you are an accruer user and you would like to have access to some of our other tools, which I'll touch on in a sec, you can do that, right? You get to use them earlier, right? There's a bunch of different incentives there. And then there's services. So we are doing the accounting for, you know, certain businesses, and that's how we iterate and develop all of these tools and these use cases and these features is we have a client come to us and say, I want to allocate by this, right, based From this input, I want to allocate things to these classes, departments, locations on multiple levels. Can you do that? And we say, yeah, we can. Let's go iterate a little bit of some of our allocation tools and string this up. And then boom, we had a basically a use case brought to us by a client who's paying us to do their books, and we're able to build our tool to accommodate them.
