“Gartner's research on B2B purchasing puts the average buying group at six to ten stakeholders, each carrying a different priority and a different kind of veto power. A champion can open a door and translate the pitch internally, but rarely holds the budget authority to close what's behind it.”

“Gartner put this plainly in their March forecast. Do not confuse the deflation of commodity tokens with the democratization of frontier reasoning.”
