00:00:02.055 --> 00:00:03.595
I think it's an important question I think

00:00:03.595 --> 00:00:05.215
the first thing we did is we were

00:00:05.215 --> 00:00:07.995
being honest with ourselves and we recognized that

00:00:07.995 --> 00:00:10.255
to build the tier three data center or

00:00:10.255 --> 00:00:12.315
anything above that level is a very different

00:00:12.315 --> 00:00:14.715
build type than the Bitcoin mining facilities that

00:00:14.715 --> 00:00:17.395
we had and other industries as well and

00:00:17.395 --> 00:00:18.815
so the first thing we did was we

00:00:18.815 --> 00:00:20.595
tapped into our networks we said who around

00:00:20.595 --> 00:00:22.855
us knows this as experts and we brought

00:00:22.855 --> 00:00:25.595
on a group of professionals that are data

00:00:25.595 --> 00:00:28.815
center veterans from everything from the build and

00:00:28.815 --> 00:00:31.195
design to the end state which is the

00:00:31.195 --> 00:00:33.655
operations after the centers are built so we

00:00:33.655 --> 00:00:34.915
have that now on our team.

00:00:35.235 --> 00:00:37.415
The second thing is we went to the

00:00:37.415 --> 00:00:40.055
broader market and said which professional services and

00:00:40.055 --> 00:00:42.175
which companies are really good at this so

00:00:42.175 --> 00:00:44.515
we brought on a very large engineering firm

00:00:44.515 --> 00:00:47.315
and specifically a group within the engineering firm

00:00:47.315 --> 00:00:51.275
that can design a platform of smaller modular

00:00:51.275 --> 00:00:53.795
data centers so they're very focused on making

00:00:53.795 --> 00:00:57.115
this scalable and repeatable so in our mind

00:00:57.115 --> 00:00:58.775
we're not just building for our first data

00:00:58.775 --> 00:01:01.055
center or second but we're already planning for

00:01:01.055 --> 00:01:03.775
the future and everything from pre-budgeting and

00:01:03.775 --> 00:01:06.275
design and permitting all the steps that were

00:01:06.275 --> 00:01:08.255
put in place on our existing sites today

00:01:08.255 --> 00:01:10.655
are things that we believe will be scalable

00:01:10.655 --> 00:01:12.755
and repeatable as we add more sites into

00:01:12.755 --> 00:01:13.455
our pipeline.

00:01:14.155 --> 00:01:16.615
We've made inroads for general contractors we've made

00:01:16.615 --> 00:01:19.595
inroads in terms of partnerships on supply chain

00:01:19.595 --> 00:01:22.375
and procurement and project management and so these

00:01:22.375 --> 00:01:24.435
are all the different resources that we've been

00:01:24.435 --> 00:01:27.075
recruiting and building in our team over the

00:01:27.075 --> 00:01:29.835
last six months kind of in anticipation of

00:01:29.835 --> 00:01:30.635
this transformation.
