Example Output
Stakeholder Map Example:
- Economic Buyer: CFO (Cost-focused, risk-averse, slow approval cycle) → Strategy: ROI case study
- Technical Buyer: VP Engineering (Feature-focused, integration concerns) → Strategy: Technical deep-dive + demo
- Champion: Director of Product (Eager to improve process, mid-level authority) → Strategy: Empower as internal advocate
Competitive Analysis Example:
| Competitor | Strengths | Our Advantage | Recommended Play |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salesforce | Market leader, brand trust | 3x faster implementation, 40% lower cost | Emphasize time-to-value and TCO |
| Custom Build | Perfect fit, no licensing | Reduced maintenance risk, expertise included | Highlight ongoing support & scaling |
Risk Assessment Example:
- Critical: Budget approval delayed Q3 → Mitigation: Secure CFO budget reserve now, propose phased rollout
- High: Procurement mandates 90-day trial → Mitigation: Offer structured PoC with success criteria
- Medium: CTO prefers competitor tech stack → Mitigation: Technical compatibility white paper
