We followed the requirements for calibration.

They fall within the grid of the sensor.

They fall within these requirements for it to be actually a good data set on the ground.

So like, I think you asked, how do you scale me?

From what I've experienced is there are so many really brilliant people who, like a lot of people reach out to me on LinkedIn.

They're like, I'm inspired by your work because I want to do what you do.

They want to do something meaningful.

But the opportunity to do that something meaningful is,

Literacy is like, sometimes I think about it like breaking rules, being defiant, figuring out things that otherwise would be like, why would you do that?

But it's like, in the end, when it comes to life, it's so meaningful.

It's magical.

Now we have all these dashboards with all these lines where there was zero lines.

And the other thing that I kind of think about is going back to my PhD, I had the opportunity to go figure it out.

And I had the space to learn to figure it out.

And so like that opportunity to learn, to grow, to be able to think and create your own ideas and link them back to the things that matter.

It's like, I think we need more of that.
