The “Time to End Spam” shown is a raw estimate of sequential work required to deploy Identity Agent technology worldwide. This estimate assumes 377,000 large businesses (enterprises with 250+ employees — Statista, 2024) each need about 2 years for sales cycle and integration, and approximately 359,000,000 smaller businesses (Statista, 2023) each need about 6 months. Using these assumptions (2 years × 377,000 + 0.5 years × 359,000,000) yields roughly 180 million years of sequential work. In practice, many integrations can be done in parallel as more followers and companies join and coordinate the effort, so actual calendar time will be much shorter — our goal is to reduce this to about one year after reaching 50 million followers.
