# The problem is known, but its business impact is not ยท The impact has not been established 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 prepare targeted questions about affected people, workflows, costs or risks, without inventing savings. ## What you would have A short impact-discovery plan and an updated opportunity brief. ## 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
