Jake WaidmannGUEST
And so, uh, when you're diving into all these AMI systems, all these bells and whistles and different things, and maybe you think you need this or that and you're not really sure, it's, it's overwhelming and it's also really easy to c- to think, "Oh, I need to compare things on a, on a stats basis kind of thing, or a specs basis.

Jake WaidmannGUEST
So which meter's more accurate? Which one gives more data? Hey, I'm going from, if maybe on a, a drive-by or a manual read, I'm going from one read a month now to hourly reads, but maybe I could do 15-minute reads.

Jake WaidmannGUEST
So when you're focused on problems, though, you can work backwards into the data you need.

Jake WaidmannGUEST
And there's always trade-offs for more data versus less data, uh, from an engineering standpoint, right? If a, a meter outputs more data, it probably also shortens that battery life.

Jake WaidmannGUEST
Uh, and there's trade-offs there usually on a, on an engineering side of things.
