Who they are
Insight
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Asif Rauf is Cottingley Software's chief executive and the economic buyer. He wants a written figure and a trial on Cottingley's own data before signing, and looks to Holly Garside's view on team use. The Growth proposal is open.
Role: Chief executive at Cottingley Software, recorded in the CRM as economic buyer, based in Bradford. He joined the 20 Jul 2026 discovery call, the 22 Sep 2026 proposal call and the 22 Sep 2026 email thread.
Influence: He decides the figure, but will not sign without Holly Garside's agreement. He said Tom Ashdown had been straight with him so far. He asked for written terms to be sent to him directly.
Watch: He wants a number, not ranges, and asked about implementation length and the consequence of an overrun. The Growth proposal at £62k is an open item. The evidence does not show whether the written terms were sent, or that the trial has taken place.
