Call prep

As at Fri 9 Oct 2026

First negotiation with chief executive Asif Rauf, who decides budget and will not sign until he has written terms and a trial on Cottingley's own data. The records do not show that either has happened, and the open deal is due to close on 30 Nov 2026.

Context: Cottingley Software is a prospect with no executed paper. The final Growth proposal of 22 Sep 2026 quotes £50k a year. The open CRM deal carries £62k, which includes the one-off implementation fee. Holly Garside, the champion, is not on this call.

Approach: Start by confirming what Asif has received in writing. If the terms have gone, walk through them. If not, give him a firm number, not ranges, and a firm date for the written copy. Explain the gap between £50k and £62k before he raises it. Owen Tallis should hold the pricing position agreed with Tom Ashdown.

Watch for: Asif has asked how long implementation takes and what happens if it overruns. The security answer and name hiding for care staff were still unconfirmed at the last record. Do not let the trial stay open-ended: agree a dated plan with Holly as owner on the customer side.

Help & Support

Help & Support

B-Viz is one place to read everything the company knows about its customers: the CRM, calls, emails, support tickets, product usage, invoices, documents, news and HR. Every page is built from those systems and the data is current to Fri 9 Oct 2026.

How to use the site

Summary is the landing page: what happened this week, the calls just held and the calls coming up, the risks and the renewals due.
Organisations lists every customer. Open one to see its key facts, the AI assessment and next step, platform usage, the ARR journey, deals, documents, contacts and activity, and the lineage of every block.
Conversations, Commercial, People, News and Documents cut the same data by topic. System explains how the site is built and where each figure comes from.
Every card ends with a small made from link: it opens the lineage explorer focused on that card, so you can walk from the figure down to the raw rows it came from.
Use the sun and moon button at the top right to choose dark or light. Choose your device's own mode again to go back to following the device.

How to ask

Press Ask B (the speech bubble) in the header, or open the Ask B page. Type a question, or pick one of the suggestions.

Ask B sends your question to Claude through the B-Viz connector. Claude answers from the same records as these pages, read-only, and links each claim to its source page.
Find (the box in the header) finds the organisations, people, calls, emails, tickets, documents and news that match your words, with links to their pages.
The same connector works in Claude Desktop or the B-Viz Claude Project, with the same answers and sources.

Data as of Fri 9 Oct 2026. Text marked AI was written by the AI from the records listed in its made-from link; an AI output that cannot cite its evidence is refused and the previous text kept. Where two systems disagree (for example a contract and the CRM), the key facts show both values and mark the difference.
