Yeah, well, we have a very, it's extremely standardized, extremely processed. We work on weekly cycles. In the growth team, we have, I think it's 20, 25 different teams, you know. 25 different teams? Yeah, because we work as a matrix, you know, so you have the channel people, and then you have the local people, and all of those are teams, you know.

While when you run it every week, I mean, they're not preparing the meetings. So you just start the meeting, say, okay, so where are we at?
