Yeah, so pretty early on as NAL was getting born, and I can get into the whole backstory of how we started in a little bit, we figured out a pretty big economic mismatch.

We realized that an average NAL deal, it changes every month or so, it always fluctuates, but it always stays in a ballpark of $40, $45.

thing in the tech space we launched or we started working on the product initially in 2022 2023 um and so from my side doing software development um what i was doing two and a half years ago is completely different from what i'm doing today and that's also reflected in our product which is based around generative ai whereas as new models have come out um as new frameworks for for things like agent management have come out the product is is wholly different than what we initially depicted but maps deals with things more on the day-to-day and would have some interesting insights there as well
