Right, yeah, so we have different softwares, we have different systems that we implement for our product research and in our listings. And when we're dropshipping, that's what 90% of our clients that come to us and want a passive income stream, that's what they choose to do is dropship. So that's, it's kind of our, you know, our bigger, you know, piece to the, to the pie here. But, uh, we scraping, so we're scraping supplier sites, figuring out pricing. We're scraping Amazon's platform to figure out where current buy boxes are, where the trends are, where it's going, where it's coming from. So a lot of this is created off of data and analysis, 100%. So it's not just, you know, at random. And by doing that, we know that by running these stores all day, every day, we're able to compete for these listings. So once we get in there and we're able to be buy box eligible, we know that we can compete for those buy boxes and more often than not are gonna have the opportunity to win them and own them for a longer period of time, which in turn drives up the revenue and which in turn with proper research drives up your net margins. So it is software driven, but then there's a lot of manual movement and that's where such a large team comes into play.
