# The work looks valuable, but the funding path is unclear All stories are fictional. They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental. A team asks for a significant implementation but has neither an approved budget nor a clear way to request one. ## Where we could start I would start by reviewing what is currently known, what the customer has actually said, and what remains an assumption. We could then select one useful qualification or discovery question before proposing more work. ## What you would have A concise situation brief with facts, assumptions, questions and a possible next step. ## Participants The prospect, the budget owner if identifiable, and the seller or founder responsible for resource allocation. ## Roles and decisions The customer decides whether funding is possible. I help prevent unsupported sales assumptions. ## Factual experience, separate from the fictional story [There is a possible funding route](https://apiperson.com/sales/sales-qualify-money/path/) [Funding is not established](https://apiperson.com/sales/sales-qualify-money/none/) [Book a 30-minute call](https://calendar.app.google/4FrxQkHkAZ32PkzA9) mailto:pavel@apiperson.com
