The situation

A senior engineer found your product, fell in love, and rallied her team — but she's never bought software, doesn't know who controls the budget, and is intimidated by her own VP. The deal will die in 'shadow IT' forever unless she becomes a real champion. You have 30 minutes to arm her: help her build the business case, map the internal politics, anticipate the objections her CFO will raise, and give her the confidence and materials to sell up without you in the room.
