Or do you 10X all of your employees? And now you can do 100X of what you did before and discover things that you couldn't have done before.
What else can we be doing? And I look at this one case study that we had called Connecta.
And then once they had these capabilities, they go, wait a minute, we have all these law firms and they have non-performing loans that they're managing and it's taking them weeks to plow through them.
