Communications is judged by whether it shortens diligence
In B2B software the useful question is not how many articles ran, it is whether the buying committee's diligence got easier. That means a named customer a prospect can read about, a category description that matches how the buyer describes their problem, and enough recent coverage that the company looks durable rather than dormant. We scope programs against that standard and report against it.
- Category sentence agreed first, then every asset written against it
- Reference customers cleared for press use, not just for sales calls
- Trade outlets your buyers read during evaluation, prioritized over general tech
- A visible cadence between funding events so the company never looks stalled
