# Everyone is positive, but nobody knows how the decision will be made ยท Some steps are known, but important approvals remain unclear All stories are fictional. They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental. A project lead, IT manager and finance representative all like the proposal. Yet no one has explained who compares alternatives or gives final approval. ## Where we could start I would map known steps and unanswered questions, then suggest how to confirm the remaining decision route without assuming consensus. ## What you would have A decision-context map showing owners, criteria, unknowns and the next confirmation step. ## Participants The current customer contact and those responsible for evaluation, business approval or procurement. ## Roles and decisions The buyer defines the decision process. I help the seller understand and document it. ## Factual experience, separate from the fictional story [Some steps are known, but important approvals remain unclear](https://apiperson.com/sales/sales-buying-context-decision/partial/) [The decision process has not been established](https://apiperson.com/sales/sales-buying-context-decision/none/) [Book a 30-minute call](https://calendar.app.google/4FrxQkHkAZ32PkzA9) mailto:pavel@apiperson.com
