Is so down the list of I mean, can you as I sit up and draw the the s one, having argued over founder control before, right, and this is a good term for the public markets. And as I've mentioned to you guys, I've changed my mind, and I've come to the conclusion it is because of the activist pressure. In the case of this deal, it's literally item 17 on the agenda. Right. First, risk of blowing up the world. Second, risk of cyber attacks. Third, risk of hostile state actors. Blah blah blah blah. Oh, item 17. Oh, by the way, we'd like to control all this. Yeah. Right.

[01:15:51] S3: But before we leave you today, when you're building a company, you learn that trust is what closes deals. You may have the best product, but no buyers will sign these days without proof of your security. Here's what happens if you're not prepared. A prospect asks for proof of compliance. The deal stalls when you scramble. Your engineer gets pulled off the road map to audit prep. Every enterprise conversation turns into this horrible fire drill. That's where Vanta comes in.
