I'm super interested in that one.
Have me back for that one.
Really interested in it.
So it can take witness testimony as long as it's in written form, which you may or may not know this.
I didn't until I started in this job.
A lot of arbitration disputes have written witness testimony.
In fact, most cross-border disputes, that's how they take testimony.
It's literally affidavits or just written expert reports online.
More and more in American arbitration cases, it's depositions.
So it can do that, but it's not going to say, have a witness show up on Zoom and we're going to listen to them and see if we think they're telling the truth or they're twitching a little in their eye, and so therefore we know they're lying.
There's a human arbitrator assigned to the case from the beginning.
And anytime the parties want the human arbitrator to come in, the human arbitrator is ready and willing to come in.
And you're probably right that there'll be some case where along the way the parties will decide that they need testimony that they didn't think they needed at the front end of the case.
And that's probably going to be a case where the human arbitrator takes over because we're not having our agents do that for now.
It's not in our roadmap today.
There's one case in the system.
We stood it up in November.
The first case came in, I don't know, a couple weeks ago.
Everybody was so excited.
