Our total FTE since Chad left is about 3.5 and maybe 3 FTE of that was on active development over about 2 years. Hard to quantify the work done ahead of that. Chad and Brent had probably put in close to a year of work I expect, but that's me guessing.

So probably about 7 FTE-years over about 3 calendar years.

No, I probably have most of them in cloud storage somewhere but just personally.

I'll see what I can dig out.
