5DELIVER: the briefing narrative arc (30 min: market POV first — analysts rate vendors partly on vision, lead with your read of where the category goes, THEN product as evidence), the 3 proof points that map to their published evaluation criteria, honest-gaps preparation (they'll find weaknesses; pre-framing beats being caught — draft the "here's what we're not yet" lines), customer references to offer, the questions they'll ask (5 hardest, with answers), and the follow-up cadence. RULE: never ask them to change a rating; ask what evidence would matter.
