what I think you're saying, Mark, is that we'd all benefit from some kind of database or clearinghouse where people share the information about how much they actually got from a school compared to the sticker price.
12:26
Right.
12:27
That was the whole idea behind TuitionFit was, you know what? All these actual prices aren't hidden in a vault somewhere.
12:35
They're just scattered across the millions of award letters that colleges send out every year.
12:40
And if we organize that data into a central place and organize it by basic need and merit criteria, profiles, then any individual student could go and see what other prices are being offered out there to students just like me.
12:58
And then if you have that data gathered after a course of one year, then we can look at the prices that were offered last year, much more current data than anybody currently has.
13:10
So you suddenly have a way for the public to solve this price transparency problem all by themselves.

What kind of response, in your first year of data acquisition and people contributing to the project, what kind of response have you seen? How many schools have you acquired information on? Do you have any of that information?
