Because budget authority and risk tolerance scale with headcount, not with how much your product costs. A 15-person company has one person who can say yes and often is the person you are emailing. A 2,000-person company routes the same purchase through a department head, finance, IT security, procurement, and sometimes legal, regardless of whether the deal is $500 a month or $5,000, because the process exists to manage vendor risk, not price.

It scales with the number of stakeholders in the committee, not a flat guess per company-size bucket. Each additional stakeholder after the first adds roughly 2 to 3 weeks, because each one needs their own round of scheduling, review, and sign-off. A one-person committee closes in weeks; a seven-person enterprise committee stretches into a quarter, and the output shows the arithmetic behind that range.

From what each company-size tier is actually structured to protect against. Small companies push back on price and time-to-value first because cash is the constraint. Enterprise buyers raise security, compliance, and integration before price ever comes up, because a bad vendor choice is a career risk for whoever champions it internally. The order matters as much as the list, since leading with the wrong objection’s answer wastes the meeting.

It changes which metrics and attention channels get selected. The tool reads the job title for functional keywords (marketing, sales, product, engineering, finance, operations) and pulls that function’s specific KPIs and channels, and separately reads it for seniority signals (VP, Chief, Director, Head of) to decide whether the buyer behaves like an executive or an individual contributor. Two different titles in the same company size will produce different metrics and different attention channels.
