You are helping a B2B founder map a buying committee for a paid product pilot that must convert to a PO. Company / product: [YOUR COMPANY + PRODUCT] Buyer account: [ACCOUNT NAME + INDUSTRY] Pilot problem: [ONE-SENTENCE PROBLEM] Target ACV if criteria hit: [AMOUNT] Pilot window: [START] to [END] Known contacts so far: [NAMES / TITLES / NOTES] Produce a buying-committee scorecard as a markdown table with columns: Name | Role (champion / economic buyer / user / procurement / security-IT / other) | Attitude (positive / negative / neutral) | What they care about | Last touch (date or unknown) | Next action (specific, dated if possible) | Owner on our side Rules: - Invent no fake people. Use ___ for unknown names. - Include every role even if vacant — mark Name as ___ and Attitude as unknown. - Next actions must be concrete (email, meeting, artifact), not "build relationship". - End with 3 bullets: biggest risk, who to multi-thread next, what to do before kickoff.
