What was said
What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Discovery with Mette Kjær and Managing Director Lars Bach. Policy data sits in several systems and agents disagree on what is current. Lars wants to know what B-Viz replaces and costs before any demo or pilot.
What happened: On 7 Apr 2026 Matteo Ricci held a discovery call with Mette Kjær and Lars Bach. The deal figure of £62k was mentioned, but Matteo declined to commit to a split.
Customer view: Lars wants one place his people can ask a question, not another dashboard. Mette described time lost reconciling the CRM, a policy system and a separate claims system.
Commercial: This is new business, with a decision targeted for 12 May 2026. Lars raised where client data lives. Matteo said it stays in the customer's own Snowflake account and offered a written residency and security walk-through.
Watch: Lars will not decide on a pilot alone. The evidence does not show what the £62k covers or which tier is intended.

Next steps
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Matteo Ricci to send a summary of the call and the open questions the following day.
- Matteo Ricci to arrange a written residency and security walk-through with the solutions engineer.
- Matteo Ricci to confirm scope and price split in writing before 12 May 2026.
Risks
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Lars wants to know what B-Viz replaces and what it costs on top of current spend, and the £62,000 deal figure is not yet explained.
- Residency and regulator questions must be answered in writing before client data is considered.
- Lars will not approve a pilot alone, so another decision step may exist.
Opportunities
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Policy, CRM and claims data in separate systems is a clear fit for one queryable layer in the customer's own Snowflake account.
- A small pilot with one team of agents could lead to wider rollout and more connectors.
Transcript
- Matteo RicciHello Mette, hello Lars, can you both hear me? Thank you for making time over lunch.
- Mette KjærHello Matteo, yes. Lars is just finishing another call, he'll be a minute.
- Lars BachI'm here, sorry. Go ahead, I've got about half an hour.
- Matteo RicciThank you. I'd like to restate the timing: you want to understand your options this quarter, and we're working towards 12 May 2026 for a decision. Is that still right?
- Mette KjærYes, roughly. We want something defined before the busy part of the year.
- Lars BachLet me be direct, Matteo. I need to know what this replaces, and what it costs us over and above what we already pay. I'm not interested in a demo until I know that.
- Matteo RicciThat's exactly the right question. I would rather you heard the full picture now. The figure on the deal is £62,000, and I'll confirm exactly what it covers before anything is signed.
- Lars BachSixty-two thousand, for a first year?
- Matteo RicciThat's the figure we have on the deal today, but I would rather not commit to a split until I understand your situation. What does your regulator need to see?
- Mette KjærGood question, because our records are the main issue. We have policy information in several places, and the agents don't always agree on what's current.
- Lars BachWhich is precisely why I'm here. Mette has been carrying that for too long.
- Mette KjærMaybe, but it's a fair point. We spend a lot of time reconciling when a client calls.
- Matteo RicciThat's a common picture for brokers. Which systems hold the client record today, and which ones do your agents check?
- Mette KjærThe CRM for the relationship, and a separate system for the policy detail. Claims sit somewhere else again.
- Matteo RicciUnderstood. So the question is less about a new tool, and more about one place your agents can ask a question and trust the answer.
- Lars BachYes. I don't need another dashboard. I need my people to stop phoning Mette.
- Mette KjærHa, that's not wrong, though.
- Matteo RicciThat's a helpful way to put it. We can talk about the connectors next time, once I know which systems matter most to you.
- Lars BachBefore that, what about the regulator side? If we send client data into this, I need to know where it lives.
- Matteo RicciVery fair. The data stays inside your own Snowflake account, and I'd like our solutions engineer to walk you through the residency and security questions in writing.
- Lars BachGood. Mette, put that on the list.
- Mette KjærWill do. Matteo, can you send a summary of today and the questions?
- Matteo RicciYes, I'll send both tomorrow, and I'll copy you on the proposal timetable.
- Lars BachSorry, I'm back. Mette, is there anything I haven't asked?
- Mette KjærOnly the timetable for the agents. I'd like to know if they can start with a small group.
- Matteo RicciThey can. I'd suggest a small pilot with one team, so we learn before we ask everyone to change.
- Lars BachFine. Let's see the answers first. I'm not making a decision on a pilot alone.
- Matteo RicciUnderstood, and I wouldn't ask you to. Let me confirm the scope and the price split in writing before 12 May 2026.
- Lars BachRight, I need to go. Thank you both.
- Mette KjærThanks Lars. Thank you, Matteo.
- Matteo RicciThank you both. Speak soon, and I'll be in touch tomorrow.
