We thought that we need to get something that would is really supporting us and our our people here how to make things better and how we can make it also easier for them. We are multi chain operators. When you have these complexity, there are thousand stores. 10s of thousands of products, the consumption habits are different, so we need to be able to manage that. You know that when a single person is doing the analysis and trying to see what is good and what is not good, you can touch only a small part. If if you can have their optimization tool or really skilled and advanced analytics, you can make really many big things. I need to say that I became really big fan of optimization, big fan of fact based data package decision making. So that that I I think that AI will be a big thing for us in the near future.
