How I think
Categories aren't created by product. They're created by a sentence the market repeats without you.
Your first 20 contracts are research, not revenue.
Enterprise deals close on proof, not promise.
A new VP Sales in a broken system is a new VP Sales with the same system. Fix the machine first.
Agents can give reps their week back. A human still signs every message.
