What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Tom Ashdown sent the Growth proposal at £62k. Chief executive Asif Rauf is not against it but wants Holly Garside's view on team use, and asked how long implementation takes and what happens if it overruns.
Ask: Asif wants Holly's view on whether the team will use it before he agrees a figure. He also asked for implementation duration and the consequence of an overrun.
Customer view: He says he is "not against it in principle", so he is open but not committed. The proposal is an open item, not executed paper.
Next: Tom promised implementation timing and service terms in writing that day, and asked Holly what her team needs to see. The evidence does not show whether he sent them or whether Holly replied.

- Tom Ashdown 22 Sep 2026 13:49Hi Holly and Asif, Thank you both for the time so far. As promised, the proposal is for Growth at £62,000, covering several teams with the dashboards builder and quarterly reviews included. Holly, I know you'll want to test the usage side with your team. Asif, I'd like to make sure the commercial terms are clear before anyone signs. I'm happy to walk you through the proposal on a short call. Ideally we'd have an order form signed by the end of November. Leave that with me if the timing needs to shift. Best, Tom
- Asif Rauf 23 Sep 2026 12:10Tom, Thanks for this. I'd like Holly's view on whether the team will use it before I agree a figure. I'm not against it in principle. Can you confirm how long the implementation takes and what happens if it runs over? Regards, Asif
- Tom Ashdown 24 Sep 2026 09:16Holly, Asif, Thanks, Asif, that's a fair question. I'll get the implementation timing and the service terms written out for you today, so you have them in one place. Holly, if you can share what your team needs to see, I can line the walkthrough up around it. Best, Tom
