> As a result, the moment our customers adopt Kodex, they automatically pull in any government agency that wants to contact them.

Am I reading this right: agencies aren't reaching out to companies because it's kinda hard to because every company has their own process? Or at least, agencies are slowed down by this fact? So, couldn't adopting your product be seen as a bad thing? If a company prefers noncompliance to government agencies (legal noncompliance through explainable bureaucratic friction), and the lack of a product like yours allows for friction to slow down both the government sending, and companies responding to, for example FBI requests, that sounds like an ideal state for some companies.

Say for example if I manage a wiki, forum, library etc for protest movements, I would be motivated to make it as hard as possible for the FBI to investigate some of my users that the FBI has improperly identified with the unjust "Black Identity Extremist" [1] label. I mean, obviously I wouldn't become a customer of yours, but if other companies also don't become your customer, the FBI has less resources writ large to deal with my organization manually. Therefore, in general, it's helpful for everyone to avoid helping the FBI do their job more easily, right?
