12 / 15Investment roadmap
Capital allocation
Separate must-have operating capacity from strategic bets. First three years fund people, US sales, Portal, AI, Threat Intel Center and quality systems. Offices follow customers and talent, not vanity.
Principles
01
Prioritize US revenue-generating roles before broad country payroll.
02
Fund Portal and AI as core infrastructure — they improve every service line.
03
Do not commercialize Protocol broadly until legal, ethical, logging and partner controls are mature.
04
Build threat intelligence as both a product and a marketing engine.
05
Use acquisitions only after operational integration capability exists.
