Definitely. We have a quality of data policy that saves all of our time and energy when we recognize that the client is going to be a cluster.

If we can see from the beginning that the data is bad, then yes we will turn down and give suggestions on how to clean it up. If we're already in it, then we just do it

That currently how we operate, it’s just seems the data keeps getting worse and worse.

Condolences to all the analysts and associates that have had to stay up late…
