| Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain figures included in this document have been subjected to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown in the same category presented in different tables may vary slightly and figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.
|
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company must make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
|
| Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, and unbilled accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents, and investments with high-quality financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk for cash held in financial institutions in the event of a default to the extent that such amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are in excess of amounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

| Recent Adopted Pronouncements and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The new standard will be adopted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026. The adoption will impact the Company’s disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The new standard will be effective and the Company will adopt it for the annual period beginning August 1, 2027, and for the interim periods beginning after August 1, 2028. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU will impact the Company’s disclosures. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Income Statement—Reporting Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Subtopic 326-20): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for all entities related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The new standard will be effective and the Company will adopt it beginning August 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software which removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages to increase the operability of applying the guidance to software costs incurred in an iterative development environment. The new standard will be effective and the Company will adopt it beginning August 1, 2028. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the consolidated financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements that will be applicable to the Company are not expected to have a material impact on its present or future financial statements.
