We had to be able to make a decision like that, without reprocessing all of our learning. So we take a small slice of information and a profile of the customer, set up a promotion, prime up the customer's history, and wait for the events.

Maybe it would be wrong five percent of the time, but that's okay. It would be more like making judgment calls.
