One of the data points we're working on right now , as you know , we're in compliance and we're talking with payers about the relationship of a better adherence to compliance , which is really just adherence to best practices is all compliance really is and the adherence to compliance standards and how it relates to outcomes and long-term outcomes for people in substance use disorder treatment or mental health treatment . And , yeah , figuring out what data points to look at , how often , to measure what to do with that data . These are all very overwhelming tasks that are a lot to do but we know have a direct impact . Now it's being able to repeatably show what makes sense . So you know it's all designed around reducing the unnecessary standards and burdens that are on treatment centers that you know may not be necessary , so it all kind of comes around full circle with that , which is really cool . I don't know if I shared that with you that we've been working on that .

But where those workforce shortages are there and people don't have adequate staff and the sky is falling and we're putting out fires left and right , organization like Hatch has the ability to step in and come alongside and help with a lot of the compliance . It's almost a way of outsourcing that headache that , for a lot of people , is not their favorite thing , is not their primary focus . You know they got into this because they want to help people . They want to do that in the best possible way , but they don't always know the eyes to dot and the T's to cross , and how many of this does that take . So it gives you opportunity to come alongside and really indirectly impact a lot of people's lives by freeing up the treatment agency to do what they do best .
