Subject: Evaluation checklist if you’re rethinking {{vendor}}

Hi {{name}} — quick note.

When teams reconsider {{vendor}}, the risk isn’t picking the “best feature”—it’s picking something that fails in rollout and reporting.

If you’re evaluating options for {{workflow}} at {{company}}, I can share a one-page checklist that covers:
- success criteria (what “good” means)
- rollout risk (who adopts, how quickly)
- reporting + maintenance (what breaks over time)

If it’s useful, I’ll send it. Worth a quick 12-minute call, or should I route it to {{alt_owner}}?
