The Problem It Solves
In most accounts, usage exists but ownership is unclear. Influence is assumed instead of proven, and risk hides inside 'active' accounts.
It addresses common false assumptions:
- Logged-in != champion
- Title != influence
- Adoption != advocacy
What the Play Does
- Identifies users driving adoption
- Separates leaders from passive participants
- Flags missing ownership
- Surfaces candidates for enablement, cultivation, or risk mitigation
The output is a clear map of human leverage inside the account.
How It Works (High Level)
- Account context is established (only meaningful activity)
- User behavior is analyzed
- Influence is inferred from behavior, not titles
- Actionable outputs are generated
Execution is constrained by system rules and standards.
What This Enables
- Focus enablement on the right people
- Reduce single-threaded risk
- Support expansion or renewal conversations
- Act before disengagement becomes visible
What This Play Is Not
- Guess at influence
- Rely on anecdotes
- Replace human judgment
- Automatically create outreach
It surfaces signal, not decisions.
