3. **Timeline and budget parameters**

In parallel, here's a standard B2B SaaS GTM structure (90% confidence):

- **Reach:** LinkedIn + content syndication for awareness; target CAC under $200 for SMB, adjust for enterprise.
- **Act:** Gated high-value content driving demo requests; aim for 25% landing page conversion.
- **Convert:** Automated nurture sequence with 5-7 touches; sales handoff at SQL stage.
- **Engage:** Onboarding email sequence + in-app triggers for expansion revenue.

Share those inputs and I'll customize channel mix and budget allocation."""
