What we don't publish, and why

  • Monthly recurring revenue

    We are a private company and this is commercially sensitive. We share it with investors and serious enterprise prospects under NDA.

  • Individual client return volumes

    Client confidentiality. We do not share operational data about specific clients without their permission.

  • Full prospect pipeline

    Some prospects prefer not to be named publicly while they are evaluating. We respect that.

  • Detailed algorithm parameters

    The algorithm is our core IP. The academic paper describes the methodology; the specific parameters are confidential.
