ππ½ Common behavioral pattern in a software sales cycle is to present features that are not yet mature.
ππ½ Common issue with AI based solutions is that they are tightly bonded to data and need adoption to the client’s data either by finetuning, by prompt engineering or by both.

Sometimes building an anonymized organizational dataset, and an open POC environment available to vendors as a gating in the selling process, will make sure that the purchasing process is better and faster.
