I mean do you i mean how do you know how how do you confidently position yourself as a trusted adviser in this space. Gray questions steve. So i am a detailed oriented person. I'm an analyst. So i ask a lot of questions and i'm researching data. The government has a wealth of data on colleges I've i have a theory on that. But i don't know the facts but i think there's some government people in government who wanted to know and understand how to make a decision and they wanted all the stats for themselves to collect to ensure and it's from a consumer perspective right from a consumer perspective. If you don't have this information you are in the dark So it is helpful that the government requires colleges to fill out these forms to provide the statistics of retention the statistics of graduate rates. Otherwise it's a big black hole and you would not know unless you have you know. A a savvy. Business sky asking all these questions to the colleges and then determining whether this information is is valid or not and You know and that's one of the talents. That i have is understand the judgment of the person how prepared they are to answer these questions. And and i can tell you most most of these folks that i talked to in college. They're not always prepared to answer these questions because they they are suing that these are going to be academic questions. No they're actually business questions. And how will their performances and this is something that They're not all savvy on because there's there an academic institution and they're Not always measuring the performance of Their their organization to know how well they're doing well.
