3 stakeholders in this room

Elena Voss · Director of IT Security
Short, binary questions. Will drop off if you hedge.
Marcus Hale · Chief Procurement Officer
Calm, comparative, asks for the written version.
Rhea Cole · Privacy counsel
Precise, slightly lawyerly, lets silence work after a soft claim.

Room title

What does a win look like?

The evaluator scores against this. Personas do not see it unless you say it — and never as fuller ground truth than the deck.

Difficulty

Friendly

A champion is in the room. Pushback is polite and recoverable.

Realistic

Mixed temperature. At least one person will test every claim.

Hard

No free passes. Stacked objections, time pressure, and a dealbreaker.

Conversation language

Whisper and the stakeholders follow this. Catalog briefs stay English. Auto detects from your first spoken or typed turn, then stays put.

Deck (PDF)

PDF or a PPT exported to PDF, up to 4 MB. Plain .txt also works. Optional — skip this and the room behaves as before.

Brief / talk track

You are mid-cycle with Northline Freight on Meridian Flow (RevOps overlay on Salesforce). RevOps is warm. This meeting is the gate: IT Security, Procurement, and Privacy Counsel.

They sent a 94-question vendor packet last Tuesday. Legal flagged EU data residency because Northline just acquired a Rotterdam brokerage. The incumbent is already on the approved-vendor list.

Your talk track:
- SOC 2 Type II (current), SAML SSO on day one, admin audit logs, EU region option on the enterprise SKU.
- Subprocessors: AWS (eu-central-1 or us-east-1), no training on customer data.
- Pilot is a paid 30-day on two Salesforce orgs, list price, termination for convenience with 14-day notice. No auto-renew trap.
- TCO vs incumbent: 11% lower over 24 months if they drop the overlay they already resent. You will not go below list to manufacture the 12% Procurement wants.

What a win is not: "we'll fill the spreadsheet later," a verbal SSO promise, or a services-heavy implementation. Elena will ask binary questions. Marcus will compare you to the incumbent. Rhea will listen for residency waffle.
