- You have taken a data or AI product to market -- not internal tooling, not a feature within a larger product, but a discrete product that external customers evaluated, negotiated, and paid for.
- You have designed a commercial model for a product where value is variable and outcome-linked. You understand the difference between value-based pricing and cost-plus pricing and can explain when each is appropriate.

- Proof period design: has structured a time-limited pilot that produced a clear, data-backed commercial decision at the end

- You have not had commercial conversations with CFO or COO-level buyers. The product conversation for AI systems that affect operational costs and revenues happens at a different level than typical product discovery.
- You cannot explain the difference betw
