# The problem is known, but its business impact is not ยท The impact is real but mostly qualitative All stories are fictional. They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental. The customer complains about a manual process. The team is preparing features and estimates, but nobody knows whether the problem costs time, money, quality or risk. ## Where we could start I would help express the consequence faithfully, distinguish evidence from estimates and identify whether measurement would improve the decision. ## What you would have An impact statement, available evidence and a list of optional measurements. ## Participants The user or process owner affected by the problem, a business decision-maker and the account lead. ## Roles and decisions The customer confirms real consequences; I help organize the evidence and questions. ## Factual experience, separate from the fictional story [The impact is real but mostly qualitative](https://apiperson.com/sales/sales-buying-context-impact/qualitative/) [The impact has not been established](https://apiperson.com/sales/sales-buying-context-impact/unspecified/) [Book a 30-minute call](https://calendar.app.google/4FrxQkHkAZ32PkzA9) mailto:pavel@apiperson.com
