Well, I've met with a couple of people over the phone and in person focused on investment technology. And so they've been looking at our contracts. As I mentioned at the outset, We had, like, 2,000 contractors on top of 5,100 at the end of last year. And so I would have had to hire contractors to look at what contractors are doing to make sure that's what they're doing. (00:41–00:49)
