Projection Assumptions

  • Average MRR per customer ~€87/month (blended mix: 60% Starter €49, 30% Growth €99, 10% Scale €199)
  • No churn in projections — conservative: 5% monthly churn would reduce these ~15% by month 12
  • Zero paid acquisition — 100% organic through open source, LinkedIn, GitHub
  • September 2026 NIS2 audit season: companies that received compliance letters in Q4 2024 face first audits
  • Year 2 EU expansion multiplier from January 2027 (Germany, Italy)
