And going back to some of what we were talking about around the labor pool, those labor pool shortages exist in construction and they exist in mining.
They're felt very, very intensely.
And so our fundamental thesis is that
the, with a contracting labor pool, you know, you have to start with an awesome team.
The table stakes is that you build an awesome team.
But how do you enable 200 people to do what 10,000 people are needed to do today?
At least on the, on the like parent, parent co side of things.
And that comes from leveraging the recent advances in LLMs to automate workflows in the construction side of things and the engineering side of things and the procurement side of things, which take an insane amount of time.
Like, you make a lot of lists and you fat finger a lot of data between databases.
And that is all about reducing churn in construction.
I think that there's...
Churn and latency.
Latency is one thing that I think people sometimes don't appreciate from like status quo construction, like large scale mega projects is that what's happening in the field and what the like the back office kind of sees or what the executive team sees or what the project director sees.
There's like a three week lag.
generally for like really large construction projects where you are trying to aggregate data from all the different contractors, all of the different and all the different parts of the facility into a consolidated integrated schedule, which you can then make decisions off of, like, how do I prioritize what I'm doing today?
And the way you run from on those, like in between those three weeks is people stand in circles every morning and they say, what are you doing today?
What are you doing today?
What are you doing today?
And they go off and they do the thing.
They'll send like a very brief kind of progress report back.
