Well, I don't know. I mean, it should self-correct. I'm not sure. It's gonna depend on how strong the market signals are and when. And when M&A comes back. I mean, when you look at our specific guidance, I just and this has come up now twice. I think the guidance that Ian provided is a little bit of just us being conservative. Like, we like to over-deliver on expectations. I guess that's kind of the, you know, the credit mindset of the firm. Which is, you know, do no harm, you know, kind of over-deliver. To give you a little perspective, I think ten and a half, ten years, we've beat alone of our guidance framework. Nine out of ten years, we've been above the top half. And seven ten years, we've been above the top path above the top level of guidance. So I think when you look at our guidance, it implies actually low levels of M&A portfolio turnover. I think is in our guidance at, you know, somewhere between 15% and 20% versus 25% this year. So it implies low level of which drives activity level fees. So I think our guidance is relatively conservative. I think what we did was say, hey, spreads, like, let's try to again, with the framework of over-delivering. Let's assume spreads don't get better. Let's assume portfolio turnover gets a little bit worse. What does that mean? And that's what spit out in guidance, but, you know, again, we, you know, we have a track record on what we're delivering. So I would not what I would not do, Robert, which I think you've you do because you're quick, that PhD is, like makes you quick. But I think what you've done is is you've said, hey. I'm looking at their guidance. What does that mean for the environment? I would you guys put our guidance in the historical context of, you know, our relationship with the street.
