Q Just are lawyers ready to buy big data?
A Well, I'd say, you know, a lot of people tell us we're crazy. You know, like, hey, you know, lawyers, most lawyers went to law school to avoid data, right? And now you're trying to sell data to lawyers. Um, I, I think a couple things, though, what's interesting, one is, you know, we did have a big, you know, a lot of big companies fund the initial, um, academic work because of this rising, you know, problem and patent monetization entities, and, and so there was an eagerness to kind of understand a little bit of what, what's going on. The other thing is, what we initially did in selling to lawyers, especially, um, you know, law firm partners who, I'm familiar with, you know, the latest in data science, is we sell history. Right? So it's like, we're not selling data prediction, we're selling history. Right? This is what happened in the past, which you may want to know, may help you decide what's going to happen in the future. So that's really kind of what we had to start to do, but I do think there are, is a new generation, especially You know, younger generation of partners at firms that are more open to this, but we still walk into some places and, and get blank stares.
