And so because this is our focus, really the study feasibility is our focus, we are seeing that sponsors and CROs are starting to develop their own product.
And obviously, the sites seem to be engaged and eager to use this technology because historically, this whole process has been a disruption to their day.
Our theory was to bring a marketplace to the industry, somewhere that a site can go pull different study trials and get all the information on their own, as opposed to having to be pushed all that information.
So we're really kind of putting some of the power back in the site's hands by allowing them to go get what they need to do the research and find out if they're gonna be a good fit in this feasibility process.
It's always been this sort of sites on the receiving end of the work, and no one's really made this a site-centric process.
So I'm excited to talk about, you know, how we've flipped this process on its head and then a site, um, moving from that model into one where sites are actively engaging in potential opportunities that fit their needs.
