Call with the prospect's Head of Data Engineering and her VP at 10am. Want to make sure we're all aligned before I jump on. Quick summary of where we are:
โข Week 3 of the POV, technical setup is mostly done
โข Budget conversation hasn't happened yet โ VP is joining today probably for that reason
โข Competitor is still in the picture, haven't been able to confirm which one
@Dana Kim since you last spoke with them and team - Anything I'm missing?

Pipeline monitor is live on their end. One thing โ their orchestration version is older than what we officially support, but it's been working fine in the POV. If they ask, I'd say it's supported with a caveat rather than flagging it as a risk.

One thing worth flagging โ on last week's technical call their data platform team asked a lot of comparison-style questions. "Do you support X, does your API do Y." Felt like they were running a side evaluation.

We should lead with risk and business impact. Not features. And get a sense of timeline. If they're stalling something's up.

Perfect. Thanks all - Jumping on in 10!
