Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] For the full year 2021, there was a positive correlation between our compensation actually paid and our TSR, which resulted from the increase in our stock price from December 31, 2020, to December 31, 2021, as well as the grant of the 2021 Market-Based RSUs and the satisfaction of the liquidity event vesting requirement of RSUs granted in periods prior to our IPO. However, when measured for only the portion of the year from our IPO in July 2021 to December 31, 2021 (as TSR is required to be calculated for purposes of the table above), there was an inverse correlation due to the decline in our stock price from the IPO to the end of the year. For 2022, there was also a positive correlation between our compensation actually paid and our TSR, which resulted from a decrease in our stock price from December 31, 2021, to December 31, 2022, impacting the value of outstanding equity-based awards. When measured for the portion of the year from our IPO in July 2021 to December 31, 2021 (as TSR is required to be calculated for purposes of the table above), our TSR initially outpaced that of our peers before ending the year lower (on a relative basis) than that of our peer group. For 2022, our TSR largely trended in the same direction of our peer group. We have not observed a relationship between compensation actually paid and net income, and net income is not a metric used in our compensation plans. Finally, there was a positive correlation between our compensation actually paid and our Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 and 2022.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block]
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation “actually paid” and certain measures of Company financial performance. The figures shown below are disclosed in the manner required by SEC rules, but in certain cases, particularly with respect to the valuation of equity awards, the values do not correspond to the actual economic benefit received by the applicable executives upon receipt of the applicable compensation. For further information concerning the Company’s executive compensation, see “Executive Compensation–Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Cumulative TSR reflects the value as of each measurement date (December 31, 2022, and 2021) of an initial investment of $100 in the Company’s Class A common stock from July 29, 2021 (i.e., the date of our IPO).The dollar amounts represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of the Company. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s executive compensation programs, the Company has determined that Adjusted EBITDA is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation “actually paid” to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance. As described above in “2022 Executive Compensation Program—Cash Bonuses,” half of the annual bonus plan payout is determined by Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.
