Right. Let me take that, Arjun. Look, there are three things that are super clear to us. One is, as we said, the macro is - we're experiencing a pronounced change. Second, our go-to-market motion and the transition to the level of maturity that we need to have for a business of this scale and size, we are not there, and it's taking us longer. And I'm not going to go through all of it, I'm sure we can follow up in the actions. But with the kind of people that we have around this and inside the company, what needed to do was fairly clear. And what we realized as we went late last year and looked at our own progress, needless to say, no one, including myself, was happy with pace of progress. And what we decided to do was to upgrade -- make significant upgrades to the leadership, starting at the very top, right? That's what the investors and the Board would love to see, and we brought in Trac with his rich experience at Synopsys, being there for 16 years in a very hands-on operational role. Followed by Scott, who is at ServiceNow who's our Chief Commercial Officer, a new Head of Europe, again, similar pedigree, Head of Americas, of similar pedigree, Head of Global Success, Head of Renewals, Head of Sales Strategy, a brand-new role that we never had, Head of Partnerships. So - and these recruiting was done with a very clear filter of proven track record at other companies like us who went through this multi-buyer complex selling process. So at this point, we feel like we've got to handle, we got the people, and I'm very - I'm cautiously optimistic. But it's going to take time as these leaders settle in, find their own leaders, or upgrade and enable our existing talent. But I'm very encouraged by what we're doing. And it's safe to say, look, I think we had embarked on a four to six quarter transition at least, and we'll probably - one quarter into it is the way I'd characterize it.
