#### Continuous Feedback Loop and Product Iteration
Our client support systems are integrated into our product development infrastructure, with our product support team reporting directly to our Vice President of Product, to shorten the feedback loop. Client feedback and support trends are automatically tagged, categorized, and routed to our product and engineering teams, creating a real-time, data-driven feedback loop. We invest in our automated testing infrastructure and testing harnesses, which allows us to make frequent improvements with confidence to all our products. We have captured more than 15 years of knowledge of edge cases and regressions. We have also built a rigorous engineering framework that continuously validates our trading system against over 15 years of historical data designed so that every code change produces consistent, accurate results. When issues arise, we create dedicated test cases that run indefinitely, preventing recurrence and reducing the risk of the types of automated trading errors and misconfigurations that have impacted others in the industry. This disciplined approach to testing and regression is designed to ensure the long-term reliability, stability, and trustworthiness of our platform.

This efficient feedback loop shortens the cycle between identifying client needs and delivering product updates, allowing us to accelerate our product development velocity, continuously improve the platform, and reinforce product-market fit over time.

We built our omnibus clearing broker platform from first principles with an unwavering focus on automation. Unlike traditional financial institutions that rely on large teams of operations specialists, our lean operations team plays a supervisory role with a mindset to scale sub linearly with business growth.

This automation allows us to deliver services typically reserved for high-net-worth clients at scale while maintaining an exceptional client experience at a low cost. As a result, our lean product
