Maybe we got it wrong.
We don't do any of this in the spirit of you made a mistake.
This is an environment where you should critique yourself negatively.
It's like, no, we should be intellectually honest, just like we want our executives to be.
We want to be clinical in what we did.
But then we want to do it in the spirit to try to learn from it and get better or put our data out there so we can learn from our colleagues who might have a valuable perspective to make us better.
And if we can take the attitude of intellectual, honest, self-improvement, humility, that makes us better.
I won't mention the names of those who didn't make it because the thing about not making it is a little bit like our investment memos when we invest in great people who are trying to build companies.
A lot of them do great things and they just don't make it.
In success, there's a lot of good fortune.
I think what I learned was if you don't architect the system on day one for success, then you end up with a lot of conflicts that sometimes undermine what you could have accomplished.
We try really, really hard at Durable not to make compromises.
If we go hire someone on the investment team, we want to go hire someone who
who one day could be a senior partner or one day go basically manage the capital base.
Or if we were to ever launch a new product, go launch that product.
We're looking for people who can be as good as I am or Anouk is or Corey is or Catherine.
We want great people.
For sure, you usually start in our parlance as an associate.
You're gonna start supporting someone and you're truly gonna be an apprentice in their way.
And then even when you become an analyst the first three years, you're probably doing real analytical work, but probably you're early in your journey.
