  3. Run high-quality discovery calls to uncover business outcomes and technical requirements, translating them into a clear value narrative.
  4. Deliver live demos and tailored storytelling to guide customers through evaluation, including light solution design as needed (workspace architecture, permissions, rollout approach, integrations) to unblock adoption.
  5. Navigate complex commercial-stage requirements (security, legal, procurement) with support from cross-functional partners.
