We have a lot of questions that we ask initially. Even when we deal like our initial calls with prospect, it's mostly us just asking questions.
And that's just, it works two ways.
It helps us really understand if we can end value. But to help some understand how we work, when they see the kinds of questions we ask, the kinds of uncomfortable discus

Which is that everything you make should point in the direction of the reference or something else that’s going to take you deeper. So that at least, if you don’t have the time, you can stop there. But if you are curious, you can go deeper; you
