open_questions:
- What recurring advisory package would a team-of-one Maximo/MREF leader actually sponsor or influence?
- How should the offer balance roadmap, business-case writing, vendor governance, training, and tactical problem solving?
- Can small first workshops lead into retained advisory without triggering long procurement cycles?
needs_validation:
- Test retained-advisor willingness with additional internal platform leaders before treating this as Max Connect's primary launch offer.
- Validate procurement path and budget owner in public-sector, university, facilities, and industrial accounts separately.

The new corpus recalibration turns the isolated internal Maximo/MREF leader persona into a specific offer candidate: a light, recurring strategic advisory retainer. The job would be to act as an extension of a stretched internal owner who must manage roadmap, business case, vendor delivery, user adoption, and technical-option decisions without enough peer support.
This offer should be tested as a low-risk entry from workshops or roadmap reviews into ongoing advisory. It is promising because it fits founder/community knowledge and customer pain, but it remains unvalidated until Max Connect proves willingness to pay and procurement route across more than one account.
Open questions
- What monthly cadence and artefacts would make the retainer concrete?
- Which situations trigger urgent need: migration, MREF/TRIRIGA transition, GIS integration, licensing, or partner governance?
- What price point avoids long procurement while still signalling senior strategic value?
