Yeah. You're granted commission, though. [00:29:52] S2: In the early days, you can definitely [00:29:53] S0: And I adjusted that. Now it's in the policy, so you cannot sell to the foundational model companies. [00:29:58] S2: So it's clear clear to to all the [00:30:00] S0: Very clear. [00:30:01] S2: Internally.
