So if you have a bit less data, and if your organization is quite a bit smaller, for example, and i had spoken with a company that i think had seven people total on their data analyx team Total, in the entire company, it makes it a lot simpler. Younow do they all get access? Or maybe it's just steve, because steve works ith all the scary stuff. And so, you know, he is the one, or maybe it's jane, that gets it all. So we've definitely seen the ability for smaller companies with less people and less data to be maybe a bit more creative or not have as much of a weight. But that isn't necessarily always the case, because there can also be small organizations that do deal with a large amount of data. And to your point, it can be challenging. And i think urrie has more to add to this. But one thing i will say is that, kind of, as we had spoken in the beginning, of really selecting, what is it then that you need to govern? And especially if you don't have the head count, which so many folks don't, you're going to have to strategically think about, where can i stat you can't boil the ocean, but where can You start? And maybe it's five things. Maybe it's ten things, right? Maybe it's the things that hit most of the bottom line of the business, or that, you know, we're the most scary. Because, as urry said, you know, the auditor's going to come in. We've got to make sure that this is is locked down. I got to make sure i can prove that this is locked down. So starting there, but to not get overwhelmed by all of it, but to say, you know it, if i just start somewhere, then i can build out.

But just something adding to at jessi said the case of the small company with the small amount of data is potentially simpler. It's actually quite common to have a small company with a lot of data. And that is because maybe that company was acquired or was acquiring. That happens. And also, maybe because it's so easy to form a single, simple, mobile ap to generate so much data, especially if the ap is popular, which it's a good case. It's a good problem to have. Now you're suddenly crossing the threshold where regulators are starting to notice you, maybe your spend on cloud storage is beginning to be painful to your wallet. And you are still the same tiny team. Theres only steve, and steve is the only one who understands this data. What does steve do? And the answer is, it's a little bit of what jesse said, of like start where you have the most impact. Identified tent top 20 % of the data mostly used. But also, there's a lot of built in tools that allow you to get immediate value without a lot of investment.)
