Q Yeah. So, all right, so now you've got this company, Biobot, and I think you have about a hundred employees, and, um, help me understand the business model, right? I mean, obviously, your, your product is data, right, on pathogens, and, and disease, and viruses, etc. Um, but who, who are your customers? Like hospitals, uh, government agencies, businesses?
A Yeah, so our customers are primarily government agencies, um, Um, so those are agencies at the local, so municipal, county, state, and federal level. Uh, our largest customer right now is the CDC. And so we work with all levels of government, and when we work with government, we typically work with public health departments, but also elected officials sometimes. You know, sometimes in a community, it might be the mayor's office that's driving the data collection from wastewater. And Essentially for these communities, they see the value in not just the COVID data, but rather in wastewater intelligence as a platform. So that's really how we position the technology is that right now the data that they might need is the COVID data and the variant data. Yeah. But this is actually a platform and a long-term shift in how communities should think about their sewer infrastructure. You know, we see this as being a permanent layer in the urban fabric, uh, and then we have multiple stakeholders interested in the data, so we could be working with a city who is only interested in looking at their own data, but then we work with a state that is, you know, monitoring dozens of communities within their state, and then through our work with the CDC, we're working in over 400 communities across the country.
