But now it's like Open Graph has just taken off, like selling like hotcakes, you might say.

I just wanted to touch on one other thing that kind of came out of the whole Adara process.
37:15
A lot of the Adara assessments was Andy and I sitting at a client site, literally just hammering their network over and over again with data collection.
37:25
And one of the, I think more important things we learned during that along with like the idea of like tier zero isolation was a scale.
37:34
For anybody else who ever wants to kind of follow in this footstep of like going from a consulting product to a real product, I will tell you right now that you are going to have no understanding of your scale until you actually run something like this.

Because once we built the original UI to try and proof of concept this, I think it was a foregone conclusion that we were going to have some kind of UI to go with it.
36:22
Because we wanted to interact with the data in such a way that we could easily answer the questions we wanted.
36:28
And the way that manifested originally was like the worst web UI you can imagine, where like 80% of it was a graph and 20% of it was just two controls that let you go from point A to point B.
