So that's from when you sign to when you go live.
which in comparison to the sort of legacy ERP systems like SAP or NetSuite, they're typically about a year or a year and a half.
Well, at the end of the day, we're in B2B software.
So it's complex by its nature and its people and software.
And you need individuals who've got expertise to bring people along the journey.
If you don't, you don't get people up and running.
And I think the key number that we look at is pre-live and post-live churn.
