[00:29:57] S2: I would... That's a good question. And there's different ways of thinking about it. Right? There's Yeah. Like, compared to competition, compared to where operators are at and what they need, compared to regulation. So I I think we're at pace with the market, with operators, and with regulators. I think there are some competitors that focus on niche areas that may not have all the compliance, but they do have, you know, cool sensors or those types of things. But I've kind of found those solutions to be a bit ahead of their time and the adoption isn't there. And that makes it very challenging to make it a sustainable business. Whereas I think, we've built a really strong core and now we can start to focus on those other areas that will continue to drive evolution in this space. So I think we're just at pace. We're not ahead. We're not behind. But the goal is to get ahead of it as quickly as possible. [00:30:55] S1: That's great. Now what kind of market share of this technology do you have?

[00:30:55] S1: That's great. Now what kind of market share of this technology do you have? [00:31:02] S2: Dynamic at this point. So it's hard to say, folks that may have had their licenses six months ago may not have their license today. There's a lot of consolidation happening in the space as well. So think we have a strong percentage of the marketplace in the upper large scale enterprise, like the folks that I mentioned, like Caliva or Harborside or those types of folks. In my mind, the strategy has always been catered to that segment of the market and that segment of the market is gonna consolidate the rest of the market and then we're positioned to help those operators as well. So I think we have a strong market share in the segment that truly matters going forward, and we'll continue to build that out. Our presence is mostly in California. Okay. We are approved as service providers in several other states that also use Metrc, but haven't really focused on that go to market strategy. But over the next six to twelve months, with the help of Akerna Resources, that will be the focus as well as to expand into additional markets. [00:32:11] S1: Well, that's great. I mean, you have an amazing business. You picked an amazing partner. I think that was awesome that you and Jessica are together running this business and doing the things that you're doing. Well is there anything that you like to say as we wrap wrap up our conversation that you would like us to know or remember about, Chelas or anything in the business?

[00:32:11] S1: Well, that's great. I mean, you have an amazing business. You picked an amazing partner. I think that was awesome that you and Jessica are together running this business and doing the things that you're doing. Well is there anything that you like to say as we wrap wrap up our conversation that you would like us to know or remember about, Chelas or anything in the business? [00:32:41] S2: Yeah, for sure. Speaking to the audience, I guess the most important thing to me is I think it's very important for every operator to look at all the options that they have available to them, whether it's within the Akerna, you know, family, whether it's not. My ultimate goal is kind of beyond Trellis, beyond Akerna is to make this industry as efficient as possible and and for the supply chain to work. And so it's really important for operators to look at all their options and see which option fits the best with their workflow because there's so many different ways to approach the the operations in this industry. And I'm not gonna sit here and say Trellis is the best for every single operator. And so, you know, I would rather an operator choose a system that works the best for their operations so that that product flows freely throughout the supply chain. And we'll continue to endeavor to expand and make sure that our product can meet the requirements of the majority of the market.
