What happened.
The published agenda covers buying roles, frameworks and procurement routes, finding opportunities, supplier evaluation and the path towards pilots or first customers.
What it actually means.
The wop. read: a good demo still leaves the buyer with a job to do. What will the product improve, who can commit the budget, and what route could make the purchase possible? A founder who can help answer those questions gives the buyer a proposal they can assess and take forward.
What to watch.
Watch whether founder education produces clearer proposals with a defined buyer problem, delivery evidence and a credible route to purchase.
