    "public_brief": "You sell predictive-maintenance software. Hollowline Manufacturing — a $180k/yr account, two plants, 14 months in — has called a meeting titled 'contract restructure.' Their new CFO inherited a cost-cutting mandate and a consultant's report that priced a rip-and-replace at 'roughly half.' You know the report ignored migration costs; he knows you know. Your CS notes say plant #2's line manager quietly loves the product. You have 30 minutes.",
