We are trying to run more of the company through an extended leadership team these days.

So we're covering an enormous amount of ground.

We have, I think, nine governments we work with around the world.

We have three product lines that serve different government users.

We have this logistics vertical.

We work with enterprises the world over and their suppliers.

So it's

It's incredibly broad and it's incredibly complex.

And the point of saying all that is that within a 300 person company, the communication and coordination challenges are just massive.
