Brian Withers: This is my favorite chart. If you take nothing out of today. This is the thing that I want you to take home. So all of these are different color years of the business, and these are called cohorts. So this idea of a land and expand model, how it impacts your revenue over time. So these tiny blue ones on the bottom are the customers that have been with them since 2002, 2003, 2004, and they spend a little bit more every year. Then this orange set is in the 6-9, and then this bluish greenish is in the tenth to 13th. So you can see how these customers add up. All of these cohorts are buying more over time, and it gives you this significant slope and significant growth over time, and that's what a great land and expand and a sticky ecosystem does for you.
