Your Champion Loves Your Product. Here's Why the Deal Still Dies.
When B2B SaaS deals stall at committee review, the cause isn't usually a cold champion. It's messaging written for one person in a room of five. The modern buying committee has 10 to 13 stakeholders, with the CFO, CISO, IT, and Procurement each holding veto power and a different question your messaging needs to answer. The Committee Carry Test is a four-question stress test that checks whether your champion can survive committee review without you in the room. Each question maps to one blocker. If they fumble any of them, that's where the deal dies, and that's the persona-specific messaging gap to fix. Build for the room, not for the champion.
