One of the questions that I had on my outline is for the developers, have you So the question originally was, before you work closely with analysts, what assumptions did you have about how investigations happen? But to Redox and Epiphyte, before the Vertex project, did you work closely with analysts at previous positions? Or would you say this is more of the opportunity where you had the chance to work more closely with analysts?
16:35
Yeah, I mean, I think just in general, this is the closest that I've worked with someone that actually represents the end user.
16:42
Like often you have someone kind of proxying that role and it's, you know, almost a great treat to meet.
16:48
If you're an engineer to meet someone that really understands the end use case while here, you know, that's we're kind of working in that day to day.
16:57
But I do have something, I mean, that surprised me, and I think it's specific to kind of this discipline, was that, you know, I had just assumed it's such a data-driven discipline that the quality of data must be very high.
17:10
And there's probably lots of standardization and that the investigations, like the final reports you see, are intimately connected to the underlying data.
17:19
And... all of that is gone.
