So anyways, M is metrics. That's what you use to build a financial business case. E is your economic buyer. That's the person who controls budget or has budget that they can deploy. Your first D is decision criteria. So that's like your wishlist, what you want in your future state solution that hopefully aligns to what whoever is selling to you can offer. The other D is decision process. So how are you gonna buy the thing? P is for more complex sales. That's the paper process. That's more like legal side of things. The I is the implication. Of pain.

That's who's selling for you when you are not there, that's been tested, that has access to power and a vested interest in your success. And the final, uh, C is competition— internal, external. Who am I competing against? MEDD, PICC, or MEDD ICC?
