+# vault1984 — Proposed POP Map (Rationalized)
+
+## Methodology
+- AWS for core markets, Atal Networks for everything else
+- One POP per major region — no clustering in Northern Europe
+- Every inhabited continent covered
+- POPs don't scale vertically — you add POPs, not cores
+- Single Go binary + SQLite per node, ~20MB idle, vault under 1MB
+
+---

 vault1984 is built to lead in ways that are irrational to chase.
 
 **Global infrastructure no competitor has built**
-22 regions. Every continent. Local providers in markets the major clouds don't reach — Lagos, Nairobi, and beyond. Low latency wherever your agents run. No competitor is close. Every month, the gap widens.
+22 regions. Every continent. Local providers in markets the major clouds don't reach — Lagos, Nairobi, and beyond. No competitor is close. Every month, the gap widens.
+
+But the global network isn't a feature. It's a consequence of the security model. vault1984 never caches credentials — not on your laptop, not in the browser extension, not in the agent. Every access is a live fetch from the vault. The credential exists in your possession only for the instant you use it. Nothing sits around to be stolen. That's a stronger guarantee than any incumbent offers — but it means latency is felt on every single credential lookup. An agent making dozens of calls across a workflow feels every millisecond. The 22 POPs exist because zero-cache architecture requires them.
 
 **Architecture the incumbents cannot copy**
 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane — they can read your vault. They choose not to. To give you what vault1984 gives you, they'd have to deprecate every existing vault, migrate every user, and rebuild from scratch. That's not a roadmap item. That's a company-ending decision. They are structurally, permanently trapped.
