Sure. So when you think about the construction that was going on in Spain and Brazil, and first, as, I think it was my first 10 days here. We had kind of a come together meeting because we saw that the construction business needed to be adapted a little bit better. And when you think about us being an engineering and construction company ourselves in terms of developing those products, we're thinking about much more engineering and construction advisory services that's been actually performing the construction itself. So when you think about Brazil, if you go back to the beginning of 2021, for example, we had within the STI business, as many as -- I think it was just over 600 employees performing construction services, right? So that is a massive amount of your workforce doing construction services. We have no competitive advantage in the actual hiring of labor. And this isn't where we had our own construction crews that we would move around the country of Brazil. This was all about, "Hey, we're going to start a site on the East Coast and the Southern belt of Brazil". So we're going to go hire lots of local labor to perform on that site. So we would set up shop, hire people, qualified people, manage them throughout the construction process. We teach them how to build and then once the site is done, they're gone, and we move on to another site to do that work. And what we found was that the problems in the construction and the management of that particular labor pool was taking a disproportionate amount of our managers' time away from customers away from focusing on the business. You can imagine, you had the safety challenges. You had weather challenges, productivity, utilization, all of the above, that was really hard to run a predictive P&L when you have those kind of challenges running the construction business. So three months ago, we start as a leadership team and said, let's start scaling that down and pivot those resources into what we call the CAS or Construction Advisory Services group. So we took our best fields -- the best people we had in the field that run those sites and they're going in a sign. So rather than have 50 individual amount of particular site, we'll have two or three of the senior construction advisers that will go and they will source local labor, meaning that the EPC will, and we'll provide them a couple of bodies to help educate, training, oversee the
