 ✔Independent Compensation CommitteeAdvisor. The Compensation Committee engaged its own independent compensation consultant to assist with the design of the 2024 executive compensation program.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ✔Annual Executive Compensation Review.The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of compensation for our NEOs and a review of compensation-related risks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
 ✔Compensation At-Risk. The executive compensation program is designed so that a significant portion of executive annual compensation is “at risk” to align the interests of our NEOs and our stockholders. The 2024 Bonus Plan achievement for our NEOs was 122.9% of target based on the challenging goals set by the Compensation Committee and its review of our performance.                                                                    
 ✔Multi-Year Vesting Requirements. The equity awards granted to our NEOs vest over multiple years and generally no portion of these awards vests until approximately 12 months after the grant date, consistent with current market practice and our retention objectives.                                                                                                                                                                           
 ✔Limited Perquisites. We provide minimal perquisites and other personal benefits to our NEOs, except where they serve a legitimate business purpose.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 ✔Stock Ownership Guidelines. We have robust stock ownership guidelines in order to encourage stock ownership among our directors and executive officers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
 ✔Clawback policy. In 2023, our Board adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy that satisfies new Nasdaq listing standards regarding clawback policies. Our Compensation Recovery Policy provides for the recoupment of certain incentive-based compensation in the event the Company
