I just had a, like, follow-up based off of the questions that counsel and Ramenta mentioned, which if you get about 12,000 inquiries a year, 300 to 500 complaints actually get filed.
1:05:19
And I know you said, some of those cases might have jurisdictional issues.
1:05:26
So I guess the question is, do you know what percentage of, like, the 12 1000, you deemed, like, ineligible to sort of have any have any enforcement powered by way of CCHR?
1:05:41
I'm just trying to see percentage wise.
1:05:43
Like, because 12,000 to 300 500 is very low, so would love to, like, understand how many of those cases are technically not eligible.

Yeah.

I think I'll I'll have to get back to you with with that information and really dig in because I think it's also different different protected categories.
1:06:04
And as I was saying, like, for disability in general, a lot of them might be rooted to precomplaint intervention, and that's why they never become filed cases.
1:06:12
But in other areas, it's gonna be a little bit different.
1:06:15
So I'd I'd like to connect you with more detail
