From the situation to a useful next step.
Here is a possible starting point. In a conversation, we can clarify the circumstances and agree my involvement.
Your selected situation
The work looks valuable, but the funding path is unclear · Funding is not established
Where we could start
I would avoid assuming the sale is imminent and help determine whether a small discovery step is justified or the opportunity should be deferred.
What you would have
An opportunity decision note: explore, nurture, defer or close, with reasons.
Who needs to be involved
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.
