  Contoso is the story. Nobody mentioned them a year ago.

  WHAT THEY DO BETTER (your customers' words)
    Reseller permissions
      "They let us hand a partner a login that only sees their
       own bookings. We'd need that before renewal."
        Adventure Works, evaluating

  WHAT WE DO BETTER
    Support response
      "Your team answered on a Sunday. That's why we stayed."
        Northwind Trading, win reason

  WHO'S TALKING
    Adventure Works    switching-to    renewal this quarter
    Fabrikam Group     comparing       no deal motion

  FROM THE CALL
    > [EXT] So we looked at Contoso mostly for the partner piece.
    > [INT] What would it need to do on day one?
    > [EXT] Honestly just not show them our margin column.

Trends

Trend	Meaning
accelerating	Rising across three or more periods, or a sharp spike in the latest
stable	Roughly flat
cooling	Falling across three or more periods
new	Nothing before the last period or two
gone	Mentions only in older periods

Eleven mentions and falling is a fading problem. Four and rising from zero is next year’s, and sorting by volume buries it.

What it will not do

Does not research the competitor. Only what your customers said.
Does not recommend building what a competitor shipped. Every gap traces to a customer asking for it.
Does not skip your advantages. With nothing on record it says so, rather than dropping the section.
