Primary revenue is astrophysics projects. Quantum computing is a growth target, not current revenue. **Core differentiators:** - 60-day delivery on configurations that competitors decline - Non-standard connector flexibility (most fabricators refuse) - Custom superconducting wire manufacturing (any alloy, small batch — NbTi, Nb, YBCO, research alloys) - Integrated thermal bleed-off plates (10x faster installation) - No length limits; small batch / prototype friendly - US-based **Standards & qualifications:** IPC J-STD-001ES (space applications soldering), IPC-A-610 Class 3 (high-reliability inspection), IPC/WHMA-A-620 (cable & harness fabrication) **Space agency credentials:** NASA, ESA, CNES (all publicly discussable). NIST is an existing customer — public naming requires legal verification [unverified status]. **Price range:** $600–$20,000 per assembly depending on complexity. Lead time: 60 days typical. **Primary competitors:** Universal Cryogenics (long lead times — CryoWeave's main positioning target), Tekdata/Cryoconnect (UK). ## Infrastructure ### Web Hosting | Host | IP | Role | OS/Stack | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | ix.azcomputerguru.com | 172.16.3.10 | cPanel/WHM shared hosting | Apache, PHP 8.1.34 | ACG-managed IX Web Hosting | - **Production site:** https://cryoweave.com - **Dev site:** http://dev.cryoweave.com - **WordPress admin:** https://cryoweave.com/wp-admin - **WordPress version:** 7.0 (upgraded from 6.1.10 on 2026-05-21) - **Dev site type:** Static HTML (WordPress removed 2026-05-22; 106MB WP backup retained at `/home/cryoweave/public_html/dev-wordpress-backup-20260522.tar.gz`) - **WordPress path:** `/home/cryoweave/public_html` - **Dev path:** `/home/cryoweave/public_html/dev/` - **Plugins:** 8 total including RankMath SEO 1.0.220 (installed 2026-05-21) ### Email & Identity - **Domain:** cryoweave.com - **Email:** Hosted externally [unverified — mail provider not documented] - **Greg's email:** greg@cryoweave.com ### Network - **Hosting:** IX Web Hosting (cPanel), ACG-managed server 172.16.3.10 - **SSH:** `root@172.16.3.10` (key auth, port 22) — direct root works; cPanel user `cryoweave` is subject to cPHulk lockout on failed SSH attempts ## Access - **SSH (web server):** `ssh root@172.16.3.10` (bypasses cPanel cPHulk restrictions) - **WHM/cPanel:** https://ix.azcomputerguru.com:2083 - **WP Admin user 1:** mikeadmin (mike@azcomputerguru.com, Administrator) - **WP Admin user 2:** guruadmin (rob@azcomputerguru.com, Administrator — prior work) - **Vault path:** `clients/cryoweave/wordpress-admin.sops.yaml` ### Vault contents (structure) ``` site, url, wp_admin_url credentials.mikeadmin.{username,password,email,role} credentials.guruadmin.{username,email,role,note} wordpress.{version,php_version,path} cpanel.{username,server,email} contact.{name,email,phone,address} ``` Retrieve: `bash $VAULT get clients/cryoweave/wordpress-admin.sops.yaml` ## Dev Site — Static Site (current state as of 2026-05-22) Six-page static HTML/CSS site built with bold-light theme. Design system: IBM Plex Sans + Mono, orange accent (#ff6b35), 64px headlines. WCAG 2.1 AA compliant. Mobile-responsive (breakpoints at 768px, 1024px). **Pages:** index, about, capabilities, applications, resources, contact **Deployed to:** `/home/cryoweave/public_html/dev/` **Pending before production launch:** - Formspree endpoint ID from Greg (contact.html placeholder at line 108) - Real testimonials (currently drafted) - Assembly photos from Greg - Google Business Profile setup - Research Universal Cryogenics competitive positioning - Verify NIST naming permission (legal) - RankMath SEO configuration ## Patterns & Known Issues - **cPHulk lockout:** Multiple failed SSH attempts as `cryoweave` user trigger cPanel security lockout. Always use `root@172.16.3.10` directly. - **WordPress special characters:** Special characters in WP admin passwords (via WP-CLI over SSH) cause authentication failures. Use alphanumeric passwords for command-line-created accounts. - **Vault pull-rebase required:** Vault repo may have upstream commits; always `git pull --rebase` before vault push. - **Design audience:** Physicists and university administrators. Academic/journal aesthetic (Nature, IEEE), not SaaS marketing. IBM Plex typography. - **Market positioning:** Target universities frustrated with Universal Cryogenics lead times. Primary message: "60-day delivery when standard fabricators say 'wait'." ## Active Work **Phase 1 (immediate, as of 2026-05-22):** - [ ] Google Business Profile — claim/create, add NASA/ESA/CNES qualifications and photos - [ ] Get high-res assembly photos from Greg (assemblies, thermal bleed-off, NASA/ESA/CNES project examples if allowed) - [ ] Replace dev homepage with professional version on production domain - [ ] Research Universal Cryogenics (lead times, pricing, CryoWeave win/loss positioning) - [ ] Get Formspree account ID from Greg for contact form **Phase 2 (next 30 days):** - [ ] Customer testimonials collection - [ ] Case studies: NIST reverse twist project, astrophysics detector wiring - [ ] Professional photography (workshop, assembly close-ups, Greg at work) - [ ] Application-specific subpages (/astrophysics-cryogenic-detectors/, /quantum-computing-cables/, /space-mission-hardware/) - [ ] Google Search Console — verify ownership, submit sitemap - [ ] RankMath configuration (focus keywords, meta descriptions, schema, sitemap) ## History Highlights - **[Prior to 2026-05-21]** SEO audit, competitive research, noindex fix performed (details in earlier undocumented sessions). - **2026-05-21** — Greg meeting (21 Q&A): primary market confirmed as astrophysics (not quantum computing); CNES added to agency credentials; 60-day delivery identified as primary competitive advantage. WordPress 6.1.10 → 7.0 upgrade (dev + production). RankMath SEO plugin installed. WordPress admin account `mikeadmin` created. Credentials vaulted in SOPS. Four homepage design iterations; professional academic style (IBM Plex) published to dev site. - **2026-05-22** — Full 6-page static site built with bold-light theme (orange accent, IBM Plex). WordPress installation removed from dev server (backed up). WCAG 2.1 AA compliance applied throughout. Site deployed to http://dev.cryoweave.com/ awaiting client review and content from Greg. ## Backlinks - `wiki/systems/ix-webhosting.md` [if exists] — shared hosting server
