Framework

Do we understand the customer's technical requirements?

Performance requirements quantified?

Query latency SLA: <500ms for 95th percentile

50,000 events/sec peak throughput required

Integration scope and data lineage clear?

8 source systems, 200+ data tables

Real-time streaming (70%) + batch (30%)

Does our architecture address their constraints?

Technical fit gaps?

Snowflake native connectors available — no custom ETL

HIPAA compliance required; we support BAA

Scaling strategy to 1M events/sec in Y2?

Sharded cluster from 3 to 12 nodes (6-month runway)

Are we differentiated against Databricks, Sigma, Fivetran?

Databricks advantage: Delta Lake optimization?

We support Delta + Iceberg; they only Delta

TCO difference: 30% lower compute cost on their data volume

Sigma advantage: visual SQL for business users?

We have low-code builder; Sigma is SQL + UI locked

What deal structure and pricing maximizes our win probability?

License model optimized for their usage?

Consumption-based ($0.12/GB processed) vs flat $500K/yr

Their estimated Y1 cost: $180K–$250K consumption

Service and support structure fit their risk appetite?

They demand 99.99% SLA — costs us $50K/yr extra
