Every figure is labeled Found, Approved or Saved and carries its scope and its period. Named customers are CDW, Zymo Research and FTC Solar. Two customers are described, not named, at their request.

CDW, Zymo Research and FTC Solar. Two customers are described, not named, at their request. They are two different organizations.
"An enterprise with 75,000 Microsoft seats saved $4M a year at its Microsoft renewal." Saved figures are agreed jointly by the customer and Asato at the close of the engagement. Zymo Research and FTC Solar report savings in their own words. Those are labeled "Saved, as reported by the customer" and carry no exact figure.
No. They are separate figures. A figure that is Found may later be Approved, and a figure that is Approved may later be Saved, so adding them would count the same money more than once.
Their names are withheld at the customers' request. One is described as a large US health system (the idle hardware story), and the other as an enterprise with 75,000 Microsoft seats (the Microsoft renewal story), with the scale descriptors each story gives.
