Current to 11 Oct 26Matteo Ricci sent a £62,000 Growth proposal. COO Fiona Gledhill called it promising but wants security requirements confirmed with her Head of IT before proceeding. Matteo promised a security team contact within days.
Ask: Fiona Gledhill will not proceed until BB-Demo's team has talked through security requirements with her Head of IT. That person is not named in the thread.
Customer view: She calls the proposal promising, so the commercial case is not challenged, but security is a gate. The £62,000 is an open proposal figure, not contracted paper.
Next: Matteo committed to security outreach within the next few days. The thread does not show it happening, and the proposal states a twelve-week implementation where the standard Growth implementation is 8 weeks, with no explanation given.

- Matteo Ricci 1 Oct 2026 17:03Ed and Fiona, Following the demo, I've put together a proposal for Strathcorran with the Growth tier, eight connectors, and quarterly QBRs. The total investment is £62,000 for the first year including setup and a twelve-week implementation. I'm sending the full proposal. Do let me know if you have any questions. Best regards, Matteo
- Fiona Gledhill 6 Oct 2026 16:41Matteo, This looks promising. Before we proceed, I need to confirm our security requirements with your team. Can someone get in touch with our Head of IT to run through the specifics? Fiona
- Matteo Ricci 8 Oct 2026 17:38Fiona, Absolutely. I would rather you heard it from me first: I'll make sure our security team reaches out to your IT lead within the next few days to go through requirements in detail. That way, you'll have certainty before we move forward. Best regards, Matteo
