Better, I think, is doing a lot of work in that line. I think we were going to succeed under either. Like we've succeeded under President Biden. We succeeded under President Trump before that. So I don't think there's a massive difference to Andrew. Mostly what we're excited about in a new administration is

are new appointees who bring different mindsets to defense procurement, like a different kind of approach, a recognition that the status quo is not acceptable, a new approach to funding, a new approach to contracting, seeing more urgency, more ambition, kind of the return of capitalism to the defense sector, which has been sorely missing for decades.
