        The buyer-interview responses reported that more than 25 buyer accounts
        collectively spanning M1_V1, M1_V2, M1_V3, M1_V4, M1_V5, M1_V6, and
        M1_V7 used the described partner-coordinated quote-confirmation features
        in production during a one-year period and agreed that the features
        worked.
      - >-
        The reported workflow allowed external partners or contractors to
        participate as quote stakeholders, view the quote and customer-agreement
        state, and coordinate with the internal user.
      - >-
        External partners participated in setting the dates of the quote. The
        internal user coordinated with the external partner and presented or
        sent the sales order to the customer for customer confirmation of the
        acceptance or outcome date, delivery dates, quantities, and price.
    scope: >-
      Buyer-reported production use across more than 25 buyer accounts
      collectively spanning M1_V1, M1_V2, M1_V3, M1_V4, M1_V5, M1_V6, and
      M1_V7 over one year.

      User-provided wording preserved faithfully includes: "buyer used the
      features and agreed that they work"; "CEO. CFO. Vp of Sales."; "1 year";
      "all verticals. over 25 buyers."; "the external partner participated in
      setting the dates of the quote"; and "we reported based on
      buyer_interview." Exact buyer and account identities, counts and
      observations per vertical, calendar dates, and whether every listed role
      participated at every account were not supplied. No transcript,
      recording, screenshot, export, configured dashboard, or customer record
      was inspected. The reported agreement that the features worked does not
      independently establish field-by-field reconciliation between quote,
      sales order, and dashboard. It does not establish projects awarded to
      another supplier, cancelled or no-decision outcomes, comprehensive
      outcome coverage, winning supplier, win rate, market share, price
      elasticity, or quantified improvement.
