# ZorblaxCorp — Customer notes

Highlights from current paid deployments. All customer names are anonymized per the standard contract; team-internal references use letter codes.

## Customer A (Sovereign tier, US defense subcontractor)

- Deployed 2027-02-04, single region (us-east-1 equivalent on private cloud)
- 312 million operations / month
- Workload: code signing for satellite firmware images
- Annual contract value: $267,000
- Primary contact: VP of Embedded Security (cleared)

## Customer B (Sovereign tier, EU central bank)

- Deployed 2027-02-21, two regions (eu-central-1, eu-west-3 equivalents)
- 88 million operations / month
- Workload: cross-bank settlement message signatures
- Annual contract value: $194,000
- Regulatory driver: ECB internal mandate post-quantum readiness review 2026

## Customer C (Sovereign tier, NIH-funded healthcare consortium)

- Deployed 2027-03-01, multi-tenant within their internal cloud
- 47 million operations / month
- Workload: patient record signature chains
- Annual contract value: $89,500

## Team-tier patterns

- 38 Team-tier customers. Median operations: 19 million / month. Top operation: TLS session-key encapsulation (43% of total).
- 4 Team-tier customers have requested early access to CipherPlate 4.0 — primary motivation is the unified `/v2/operation` envelope.

## Builder-tier patterns

- 96 customers. Median operations: 1.4 million / month. Long tail of solo developers and small CI-pipeline use.

## Facts

- 3 Sovereign customers contributing total ARR of $550,500
- 38 Team customers, median ARR ~$5,988
- 96 Builder customers, median ARR ~$948
- Total monthly operations across all customers: ~4.1 billion
- Customer concentration: top 3 customers are 87.1% of ARR


---

## Summary
ZorblaxCorp has three high-value sovereign customers (defense, banking, healthcare) generating $550,500 in annual revenue and accounting for 87% of total ARR, while operating 4.1 billion monthly cryptographic operations across 137 total customers spanning sovereign, team, and builder tiers. The sovereign deployments focus on mission-critical workloads including satellite firmware signing, cross-bank settlements, and patient record authentication.

## Themes
- Tiered customer segmentation
- Cryptographic workload diversity
- High-value concentration risk

## Key takeaways
- ZorblaxCorp has 137 total customers across three tiers: 3 Sovereign, 38 Team, 96 Builder.
- Sovereign tier customers (US defense, EU central bank, NIH healthcare) generate $550,500 ARR combined.
- The platform processes 4.1 billion monthly operations total with workloads spanning code signing, settlement signatures, patient records, and TLS encapsulation.
- Team-tier customers have requested early access to CipherPlate 4.0 specifically for unified /v2/operation envelope functionality.
- Builder-tier customers (median 1.4M operations/month) represent a long tail of solo developers and CI-pipeline integrations.

## Insights
- Three sovereign customers represent 87.1% of ARR despite being only 3.3% of customer base, indicating extreme revenue concentration in regulated sectors.
- Post-quantum cryptography compliance (ECB mandate driver for Customer B) is emerging as a regulatory forcing function for enterprise adoption.
- TLS session-key encapsulation dominates Team-tier usage (43% of operations), suggesting the product serves both specialized signing workloads and commodity encryption use cases.

## Open questions / gaps
- What is the churn rate or renewal trajectory for each customer tier?
- What specific technical limitations of the current API necessitate the /v2/operation envelope redesign?
