Ten people go deep first, then teach the next fifty.
Ten champions, drawn mostly from sales, account management, and solutions, are selected for customer proximity and willingness to be early; they are acclimated over one quarter to the point where each can run the standard demo with a customer, answer the first tier of technical questions, and scope a first engagement against the “on the truck” list from Pillar I. Only when the cohort has done this in front of real customers does wider enablement open, and the cohort delivers it.
The cohort is a standing group, not a project; when a champion moves on, the seat is refilled.
Four stages, each ending in a thing the champion can now do.
- {{ it }}
The enablement note published at Pillar II's Release Approval gate is the only source of what may be claimed, and the champion certification includes knowing where that line is. Nothing in the demo shows a capability that has not passed the Quality Gate.
The enablement note is the boundary between what we show and what we hope.
- Feature statement
- What it does
- What it does not do yet
- Proof point
- Demo segment
Every active initiative produces a proof point a champion can use.
The fastest path to consistent proof points is customers describing the platform themselves. The pilots and active initiatives are where those stories come from, and EMACS'26 is the first stage on which they are told.
| INITIATIVE | WHAT IS BEING PROVEN | THE PROOF POINT IT YIELDS | TALK TRACK IT FEEDS | CHAMPION ASSIGNED |

Support knows the customer before the first ticket, and onboarding is a playbook before it is a role.
- Data onboarding
- Journey configuration
- Training
- Go-live checklist
- Hand-off to support
- Knows the product
- Knows the customer configuration
- Before the first ticket
- Playbook run once before
- Support group already in UAT
- Escalation to Innovation on a defined path
- SLAs by customer
The support group carries onboarding, running the Collections playbook.
A dedicated professional-services owner takes it when volume triggers.
Support engineers form a later champion cohort.
We count demos run without Innovation, not hours of training delivered.
