Gotcha - the company can’t always determine this without needing access to their customers systems in order to. We automate that for them. Agreed and that’s what we are working to …

Thank you - would love to hear more about the gaming use case. Not quite, because the buyer and seller would never agree to that being a real outcome. It would have to meet certain…
