We've only got the two segments, but in the future we'll have a bunch more.

When we actually value or look at our CAC, we don't just put it into what we spend on paid acquisition.

We're actually layering in not only all of the sales salaries and the marketing salaries, but also 50% of our success team overhead.

Well, um, in terms of the eight months payback, we've got a similar number for the no touch as well as the, um, to the, uh, ones that we have AEs involved with.
