LEARNING GOAL
  They report export timeouts and they built a manual split to
  cope with it. We don't know whether that workaround is annoying
  or disqualifying. That is what this call can settle.

WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO
  1. Close the month without hand-assembling the numbers
     "We've stopped promising this to our own clients."
     Workaround: splitting the file by hand. Someone's job now.

  2. Give their own customers a self-serve view
     "They email us for a report we already have."

WHAT WE KNOW FROM OTHERS
  | Their concern    | Other customers | Platform rank |
  | export timeouts  | many            | top 3         |
  | self-serve view  | a handful       | not in top 20 |

  Their first concern is a market signal. Their second is
  theirs alone so far, which is worth an extra question.

WHAT WE DON'T KNOW
  Whether the manual split is a workaround or has quietly become
  the process. If it is the process, export speed is not the ask.

MUST ASK
  "Walk me through the last month-end close, start to finish."

What is in the brief

Learning goal. What this call can settle, written last.
What they’re trying to do. Needs reframed as jobs, with the workaround attached.
What we know from others. Their concerns ranked against the whole customer base.
What we don’t know. The gaps this call could fill.
Questions, drawn from their own transcripts and open threads.

Not included: account health, deal value, churn score. That is CSM Prep.

Requests are reframed as jobs

“Customer requested CSV export” is a solution they already picked. Reframed as “cannot get our numbers into the reporting they already run”, it has several possible answers.

The workaround is the severity signal

A spreadsheet, a script, a person whose morning it now is. Effort is a better measure than adjectives, and the brief always surfaces how elaborate it got.
