                                        Like, is that something I don't I don't think it's a data point in the PMMR specifically or the MMR, but is it something that you're all focused on?

                                        Yes.

                                        But it's something that we that we have in our data systems for sure.

                                        It gets complicated off basically, when it gets very complicated, to be honest, because there's a lot of temporary employees, there's h and h, and played very hard to get to people

                                        And I'd have to check on the exact status of of their involvement, but but that has been a major focus of their work.
