What has to be true before you buy

01The friction is genuinely at operations and data. Buying at the wrong stage moves the bottleneck, it does not remove it.
02Ownership varies by company. Revenue Operations, Marketing, Sales or Operations can own this. Whoever it is owns the outcome, not just the licence. Unowned tools are adopted for a quarter and then quietly turned off.
03The process changes shape, so the metric changes too. Agree the new metric with finance before the pilot, not after.
04Adoption level 4 of 5. Level 1 is one tool and no workflow change. Level 5 is an agent running the work with a human auditing it.
05Pricing model on record: Free + $20/mo Professional tier. Confirm the billable unit and what happens when volume doubles.
06We found a minimum of 3 published case studies for this tool. There may be more we have not found. Read the sample size and the baseline before you quote any number.
