Who buys Quorum-QaaS (4-region PBFT), and where to find them
The person who feels the pain is not always the person who pays. Know both.
The people you will talk to
| Role | What keeps them up at night | Say this to them |
|---|---|---|
| Head of Security / Compliance lead | Can I prove our records were not tampered with? | "Three of four independent servers confirmed this fingerprint; your expert can check it offline." |
| CTO of an AI agent platform | Customers do not believe our logs. | "Make your logs believable without asking anyone to trust you." |
| Legal / General counsel | Evidence for disputes. | "A receipt that does not depend on our word or yours." |
A good prospect looks like this
- Runs AI agents that act for customers.
- Has had, or fears, a dispute about what an agent did.
- Already keeps logs and wants them to stand up to scrutiny.
- Is technical enough to compute a file hash.
Trigger events: when to reach out
People buy when something just happened. Watch for these:
- An incident or customer complaint about an agent's action.
- An upcoming audit or investor diligence.
- A customer contract that asks for tamper-evident records.
- They read about an AI incident at a peer company.
Where to find them
- Founders and CTOs of agent platforms on LinkedIn.
- Security and compliance leads at AI vendors.
- Existing Black Box or audit clients (notarize their bundles).
- Developer communities discussing AI audit logs.
Who is not a buyer (save your time)
- Teams that need timestamps certified for legal filings (use an RFC 3161 timestamp authority).
- Real-time systems that need an answer in milliseconds (a receipt takes about 2.6 seconds).
- Anyone who needs an SLA today: none is published.
Qualify before you pitch
Five checks. Pursue when at least four are true; otherwise keep in touch and move on.
| Check | Pursue when | Ask |
|---|---|---|
| Need | They answer yes to at least two sizing questions (page 2). | Have you ever had to prove your logs were not changed? |
| Budget | They can approve about $1,500 without a long purchasing process. | "Who signs off on a purchase of this size?" |
| Authority | You are talking to, or can reach, one of the roles in the table above. | "Who else would want to see this?" |
| Timing | One of the trigger events is happening in the next 60 days. | "Is there a date this needs to be solved by?" |
| Fit | They match most of the good-prospect list. | Where do your AI agent logs live today, and who can edit them? |

Research a prospect in ten minutes
- Website (2 min). What do they sell, and to whom? Do they mention AI agents, automation, an MCP server, a "trust" or "security" page?
- Careers page (2 min). Job ads tell you their problems: "AI platform engineer", "security questionnaire", "agent", "LLM", "SOC 2", "GRC".
- LinkedIn (3 min). Find the person in the right role (page 3 table). Read their last few posts. Note one thing they said in their own words.
- Public engineering traces (2 min). A GitHub organisation, an engineering blog, a status page or a listing in an MCP registry.
- Write one sentence (1 min). "I think [company] has [problem] because [evidence]." If you cannot write it, do not contact them yet.
A simple daily routine
- Outreach first, every day, before anything else: research and write to a handful of new, well-matched people. Quality beats volume; a personal message that names their real situation is worth twenty templates.
- Follow up on messages that are three days old, once. After two follow-ups with no answer, stop.
- Log everything in one sheet: date, company, person, role, what they said, offer, price, next step and date.
- End of week: count calls booked, proposals sent and payments received. That is the scoreboard.
