You set a goal, you get to that goal, and you look around and you say, well, that probably wasn't perfect.
So in this case, what we find is a lot of the formats aren't consistent.
And that makes it hard to use the data, even for companies like
Awesome.
That ups the barriers to it being useful.
And so that's some of what you see now in this next evolution of how do we think about putting more guidance around consistent formats, how the data comes out so that it can be useful.
Well, I think it's a decade-long journey for a couple of reasons.
One, because of what we talked about here, that this first phase of just getting to clean and useful data is a multi-year journey.
Two, because of what we also talked about of you've got to bring other data in for it to be useful.
But there's a third one that we haven't talked about yet, which is you got to get people to start using the data.
