| Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | 1 The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. Woodman (our Chief Executive Officer) for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to “2022 Summary Compensation Table” above for additional information.The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. We approached the determination of fair value in the same manner as we have historically determined fair fair value under ASC 718, using valuation assumptions and methods/models that are generally consistent with those used to determine fair value at grant under US GAAP.
