What kills the deal
- Enterprise-only gating on team features
- Generic 'contact sales' CTA without a team-plan path
Direct Manager / Team Lead
First business buyer; approves team plan
- Goal
- Team velocity; lower friction for repetitive writing/documentation.

Procurement
Contract structure and commercial terms

Executive Sponsor
VP / C-level who signs the business case
