Sure. Yeah. I have to comment on that and Nabeel jump in at any time. Suffice it to say, in the very immediate short term here, we're obviously focused on executing this transformation. And I do expect it to take several quarters to fully implement. Again, it's underway. It's taking root, but that never happens overnight. And along the way, we'll get better and better visibility about the timing, the effects, the results, which obviously will put us in a good position to provide guidance for 2025 as we get closer to the turn of the year. Over the longer term, 2025 and beyond, I think about it in a couple of ways. First and foremost, nothing about the fundamentals. The structure of this opportunity has changed. As I said, we own this. We have demonstrated the ability to close large enterprise deals in the past. We just need to do it more consistently across the country in a more standardized fashion. And all the steps needed to get there are in-flight. The strength of our recurring revenue foundation really is a powerful growth engine. We've seen that time and again. And in fact, actually, interestingly, our cohort analysis shows that console utilization in the acute and subacute space actually goes up over time as new accounts become more mature accounts. So, that's obviously very encouraging to see. Second, the growth in our pipeline that I alluded to earlier, it indicates very strong forward demand. The overall pipeline actually has never been larger than it is today and the number of deals with 50 consoles, 100 consoles, several hundred consoles has never been higher. So, this is not a demand problem, where we need to get stronger is converting the pipeline. The changes we need to make in order to do that pertain to sales execution, they are in our control, and we do know how to do this. We just need to do it consistently. My final remark with regard to longer term growth is -- it's kind of a double-edged sword actually, with the deals in our pipeline getting larger, it actually doesn't take that many deals to close incrementally to drive growth. Now, obviously, near-term here, we've seen that work the other way. It's several deals that are, call it, 50-plus consoles don't close on the timeline that you expect them to, it has a sizable impact on revenue, which is what we've seen happening in Q1 and Q2 and what informed our guidance for the back half of the year. But looking forward, getting back to growth can be achieved with better, more predictable execution on -- actually on a relatively small number of larger deals.
