So one factor to recollect, Kash, is that whereas we predict the web portion of the enterprise to stabilize from a greenback perspective in the course of the yr, it’s nonetheless down year-over-year due to what occurred in FY ’23, the place it was a lot greater. The greenback quantities have been a lot greater in these earlier quarters because it got here down.
