That scale is hard, too, because you're constantly traveling. Every next show, you're having to bring in big banners and things to those shows.

And honestly, that first day was so easing because they were like, this is awesome. Let's go.

Our first one is we launched or tried to tackle just too much scope right out of the gate. One of the things that we did is we said, you know what, we're going to build optical image recognition from scratch. I had a friend of mine who we hired in for a short period of time.

who was a fantastic image AI expert, worked for companies like Neato Robotics with their vision program and their vacuum robot, as well as Google. So incredibly knowledgeable. And so we tried to say, let's go ahead and actually build our own ACR application from scratch. And we still have it.

What we really fell into was just trying to take on too much versus focus on getting the minimum product that we can to our customer and having them see it and giving us feedback. And so we inevitably stopped that and stopped that investment and said, we're going to have to change scope a little bit. We'll just utilize what's in the market today.
