If we see something, you know, we can react to it, you know, quickly. Right. Like, we had one client that, because we're monitoring their Azure spend with them, had a spike in a day. And we, we went and saw it. It was a significant step spike. It was going to cost them six plus figures a month and increased cost on Azure. We started asking them questions, and it turned out that an engineer in this case had turned on some very expensive storage that they shouldn't have. They didn't know what they were doing when they prov it. And we were able to, you know, fix that so that they only had about 48 hours of cost at that, versus, you know, a month goes by, and then two months, three months, four months, and they, they aren't able to. To dive into that.
