FAQ

What is time-to-value?

The number of days from kickoff to the customer's first meaningful outcome. Shorter TTV correlates with higher retention and expansion.

How many milestones is right?

6โ€“10 for SMB, 10โ€“20 for mid-market, 20+ for enterprise. Fewer than 4 usually means gaps; more than 25 signals scope creep.
