Narrative Governance
B2B buying is a journey, not a click. This kit enables you to orchestrate a 3-stage narrative across channels—so each touchpoint builds on the last, keeps evaluation moving, and reduces redundant or mismatched outreach.
Experience Sequencing
We solve "Touchpoint Amnesia" by centralizing the Journey Stage as a shared account-level state.
What “Journey Stage” Means
Journey Stage is a shared account-level state (Evaluate / Validate / Commit) stored in the CRM and updated by defined triggers. It powers channel orchestration so ads, email, web, and SDR plays stay aligned to the same narrative.
Proof of the problem.
Security & implementation.
ROI & procurement prep.
Definition: Stage Promotion
Stage Promotion occurs when an account meets a stage-specific evidence threshold within a defined window and passes suppression rules (e.g., active opportunities). Promotion produces a Reason Code and the next recommended track.
Example: Operational Outcome
Scenario: Buyer watches a Demo and views Implementation content within 10 days.
- Journey Stage: Validate (confirmed)
- Reason Code: RC-NG-06 — Demo + Implementation evidence (10-day window)
- Next Track: Security checklist ads + implementation review SDR sequence
- Suppression: Exclude if active opportunity is already in late stage
Governance Modules
Stage Library
