Make sure you got the procedures, the standard operating procedures, the handbooks, the whatever. And then it becomes a standard. Make sure it's implemented. Look at my current stuff. You got to have the data. Uh, if you guys have a good insurance agent, they have CAB. You guys can look at that. We have, we have alerts set up for our clients so we can see when a new violation pops up.
