An enterprise software provider was preparing to introduce an industrial AI proposition into sectors where buying committees were complex, technically sceptical, and unfamiliar with the firm's positioning in this category.

What we did

We provided ongoing stakeholder proximity across the target industries, building a structured understanding of how operational leaders, technical buyers, and influencers were thinking about industrial AI adoption. The work involved sustained engagement with senior figures across manufacturing and adjacent asset-heavy sectors, tracking how needs, objections, and procurement logic shifted over time. Findings were fed back into the client's commercial and product teams in a continuous rhythm rather than as a single report.

What it enabled

The client was able to refine its proposition against live signals from the people it was trying to reach, rather than internal assumptions. Go-to-market choices, messaging, and sequencing of sector entry could be tested and adjusted before significant resource was committed. Senior leaders gained a steady line of sight into how the category was being received in the markets that mattered most.
