Objective

The initial market should favor organizations that already have meaningful AI-agent adoption, sensitive systems, mature security teams and a reason to prove control. Start where the cost of an uncontrolled agent is materially higher than the subscription price and where integration sophistication is an advantage rather than a barrier.

What to build

  • Tier 1 ICP: 2,000+ employee enterprises with active Microsoft/OpenAI/Anthropic/Google agent programs and dedicated security/IAM teams.
  • Priority sectors: financial services, software/cloud, manufacturing, energy, insurance, business services and regulated enterprises.
  • Trigger events: agent rollout, internal AI platform launch, MCP adoption, AI governance program, audit finding, security incident or rapid AI cost growth.
  • Secondary ICP: high-growth software companies embedding agents into customer-facing products.

Implementation decisions

  • Create an account scoring model using employee count, AI hiring, cloud footprint, security maturity, regulated-data exposure and agent-program signals.
  • Sell the first proof of value into one controlled environment rather than asking to secure the whole company on day one.
  • Target a 2-4 week discovery/governance proof before enforcing high-risk runtime policies.
  • Create deployment options for SaaS control plane with customer-managed gateway/data plane where required.

Definition of done

  • ICP definition is encoded in CRM and outbound targeting.
  • Pilot scope can be deployed without a multi-quarter professional-services project.
  • Reference architecture exists for cloud-first and high-control enterprises.

Success metrics

  • Pilot-to-paid conversion
  • Time to first value
  • Agents discovered per pilot
  • Expansion ARR after initial deployment
