So talk to me about like why you know, we've very familiar with sites like up work and fiber and these other sites. Number one, what's the difference in working with like an Analog labs versus like an up work And particularly when in your response, if you can talk about how you rate and recommend people who have done work with you before, so people coming later know that this person I'm working with, you know, did this project for this other guy or this other lady and they

were successful. Yeah. Absolutely, Upwards is like a connection platform, right. You find someone, they've got a decent profile, you meet them, you work with them, and that's it. Upward doesn't necessarily provide that individual with anything else, no support. The difference we're working with Analog is we're not about just a quick fix or a quick person to find. We're actually

talking about deep connections. Um people who you end up working with for one year, two years, and you see their growth and are part of their growth, and they're a part of your growth as well. Not only that, we support our team in the back, right, so we as as they're working with you and showing up every day,

they're still having regular meetings with their leadership teams. And analog ensuring that they have everything they need to be successful, ensuring that they're showing up that their as their best selves, and ensuring that they also are accountable to a higher power as well. So it's not necessarily just a quick connection and go off and do your your own. You have the support of analog behind you, ensuring that these

people are standing for a long time. Um. Not only that, as you mentioned, m are are the recommendations of the people that we have. These are people that we've worked with. We actually keep them on staff, we higher than full time. We ensure that the projects that we have they're not just short term projects, their projects that we can keep the developer or. We also work in recruiting, so the recruiters for a long period of time and that way

they actually have many projects under their belt. They've worked with many people, they've worked internationally many times over and so by the time them they get to you, by the time you've worked with them for a year, they've you know, we've we require additional learning behind right. We require them to show up to certain events and meetings that will propel their careers forward. So it's not just a stagnant thing. It's THEIRS support. There's actual support from Analog as well.
