No business can afford it. No, 80%. No, there's a million factors, but it's like, that's where having a massively lean team, utilizing technology and like paying who's making the money, the delivering the service makes the money. Doesn't mean 80/20 is right, but it's like, that's something worth paying. That's worth paying for. Where if there's other things, I think the day of like 20 person, you know, I got 3 people front of house, 2 people back of house, 1 biller, 1 lady or guy who just does it. It's like that just cracking people all day. All day. But I think having these— I'll just be blunt to say, like, bloated teams within a space. That's where I think there's a lot of margin to be had that maybe 20 years ago, you know, almost every chiropractor— I guarantee you right now there are less team members per chiropractor than there were 20 years ago. And I think that's going to go down even more dramatically.
