Yes, super question. So over the past four quarters, I would say, overall, 50-50, right, is in terms of net new versus cloud migrations. And then with respect to complexity, I think that – and this is nothing special about Guidewire. It all has to do with what you’re replacing. So to the extent that you’re replacing something, the new system has to map to sort of one for one the functionality, procedures, capabilities of the system you’re replacing. Those things, based on how complex the system is that you’re replacing, are complicated. When we do net new either new customer or existing customer, but a new line, those things are very straightforward. And so I would say that the complexity of a migration and a replacement of a system is complicated and equal to or slightly above what we expect. The complexity of a net new line of business or a net new instantiation of something that on Guidewire Cloud we can support is surprising all of us with how smooth and fast it goes, right? So when it’s a net new line, there is a lot of great technology here that can accelerate those types of projects. And so that’s kind of the feedback that we get is these things, like I said in the prepared remarks, these things are very, very complicated, and they have to be done very carefully, and they have to be done very completely. And sometimes they are slow and they take a little bit longer than we thought or we want. But on the net new side, which is a significant portion of the demand, things are going quite well, and we’re pleasantly surprised by how quickly we can execute on those kinds of projects. And I think somewhat – if you give me two seconds to go a little long on this answer. This is an interesting characteristic of Guidewire strategically, which is that we can be a platform for these companies to do the vast majority of their core system processing, the big lines of business that they need to support and run their companies. But also on the very same platform, provide them a mechanism to innovate and be agile and launch new product lines and integrate the existing product lines into new channels, all on that same core system. And I think that’s a unique characteristic of the value proposition we provide for our insurance customers. So hopefully, that helps. And thanks for the question.
