Repeat buyers include California state entities, which appear multiple times across licensing and software renewals, and counties managing multi-venue operations (Orange County for digital development; Okaloosa County for event management software incorporating agenda-like functionality).

Activity concentrates in California, Texas, Florida, and the Mountain West region (Utah, Colorado), with secondary activity scattered across the Midwest and Northeast.
