Industries/Software companies
Your customers run your software. You keep the code.
Roadmaps for prospects, code at customers and contractors, data for resellers. Each one stays under your control after it leaves.

In short
A software company's roadmaps, proposals, code and customer data all leave the building: to prospects, customers, contractors, resellers and its own engineers. With NakodaX, prospects agree to your NDA before a roadmap opens, the parts of your code that make your product yours stay locked wherever they run, and a reseller gets only the customer data meant for them.

Has this happened to you?
Real moments where control slips, and the product that keeps it.
Software that keeps running after the contract ends
Your software runs on your customers’ servers. The contract ends. The servers don’t.

Requiring an NDA before sharing documents

Quotes forwarded to competing vendors
You sent one company your best price. By Thursday, three of their vendors had seen it.

A reseller who becomes a competitor
Your reseller got a pipeline extract every quarter. Then they launched a competing product, holding your customer list.

On-premise pilots that never expire
A 60-day evaluation, deployed on their infrastructure, three years ago. It’s still running.

Source code held by an outside dev agency
An outside team helped build your product. The engagement ended. Their copies of your codebase didn’t.

Source code when an engineer joins a competitor
Engineers move, and memory moves with them. A readable copy of your core algorithms shouldn’t.

Your algorithm is ten files. Everything else is plumbing.
Most of a repository is replaceable. A small part is not. Start by protecting the modules that carry the business logic.

When the acquirer wants to see the code
Technical due diligence means sharing source code with a company that may not buy you. Review need not leave an ordinary working copy behind.
