Eustace doesn't get a letter.
It's not Matrix to you.
It's just Matrix.
Okay, because you're a fan of the movie or something?
It actually is a matrix in that it's 4,000 drugs, it's 18,000 diseases.
So we're building actually a matrix of drugs versus diseases and a fan of the movie.
Yeah, so we're still working on some of these things.
We're actually literally talking about prototypes and processes, but I can tell you that there'll be the ability to type in the name of your disease or maybe the drug that you care about, probably more likely the disease that you care about, because most people care about diseases as opposed to drugs, but then actually it'll look at a rank order list for that disease.
So say like, oh, wow, I care about ALS.
These are the 4,000 drugs ranked in order for ALS, according to this AI platform.
That, I'm almost certain, will be available in a format like that.
But the bells and whistles, we still have to work out.
I mean, what you're describing would be sort of like a holistic patient support treatment tool.
And we're really not building that.
You know, I hope someone does like someone should build that.
But we're not building a tool that is, yeah, is going to be that sort of treatment copilot, though.
I would love for someone else to do it.
Yeah, and these are in the same list that we're getting on our medical team and our research and development team.
We're giving you the same results and same scores that we're getting because we feel this obligation or this responsibility that if we're going to put our eyes on them, the world should be able to put their eyes on them.
Here are the tools that we use.
