The sales conversation for Signed decision receipts

A word-for-word starting point. Make it sound like you after the first few calls.

The shape of every call (same for all 25)

Open with their world, not ours (1 minute). One sentence about a problem they likely have. Never start with "CAIN-42 is a Byzantine trust fabric"; say that later, when they ask how it works.
Discover (5-10 minutes). Ask the questions below and listen. Write down their exact words; you will use them in the follow-up email.
Show (5 minutes). Run the live demo with them watching. Nothing is pre-recorded: every button calls the real product. Let them pick an attack.
Offer (2 minutes). One offer, one price, one date. Do not list all 25 products.
Next step (1 minute). Before you hang up, agree a date: payment, a scoping call with the founder, or a "no".

Openers (pick one)

"When your auditor asks whether your agent controls worked, what do you show them?"
"Every decision our gate makes comes with a receipt anyone can check."
"Want to edit one byte of a receipt and watch the check fail?"

Discovery questions

Ask, then stop talking. Each question tells you whether they have the problem and how much it matters.

The five-minute live demo

Share your screen. Everything below calls the real product, so it can occasionally be slow or rate limited (a "429" means too many tries from one address; wait a minute). Practise it three times before your first call.

Live lab: get a receipt from the live gate and check it.
Anatomy: walk through the fields.
Verify: show the 30-line Python check.
Lab: edit one byte and watch it fail.

Objections and honest answers

They say	You answer
"Does a receipt prove what happened next?"	No: it proves what the gate decided. Pair it with the Black Box recording for what ran.
"Is the key in hardware?"	Software key on our host today; we say so.
"Do all your products issue these?"	Today only CODEGUARD; other products have their own signed formats.

If you do not know an answer: "Good question. I will get you a precise answer from our engineers by tomorrow." Then email the founder. Never guess.
