We can break that out, we had it as GIS Professional earlier - but I think
we miss that 90% market share (and the important part of reaching out to
ESRI users using language they are familiar with). Add a column for GIS
professional if you like can we can see how it goes. The rest of your email
does not make much sense to me (since I lack the experience you have) -
which is all the more reason for you to dive in!

We need to set up a meeting, I am hoping for later in the week, early next
week. When are you available?
