Built Minutory around one observation: attention is highest in the first two minutes of any high-stakes moment interview answer, pitch, project update and almost nobody actually practices that part.

I m realizing how difficult that balance actually is... Too much information - nobody wants to read it. Too little - the business isn't clear. Too much design - the message gets lost. Too little - it becomes just another boring document ... ... have a lot of questions =D I m curious how other people approach it. Do you make your pitch

We would still have European models, open-source systems we can operate ourselves, and Chinese alternatives.

... like selling myself either, so I don't. What I do is write comparison pages between the competing products and mine, and put everything into ranking those. The people who land on them are already interested in a competitor, or already using one and unhappy with it. They read what each product does and what it costs, and if mine comes out as the reasonable choice, the conversion happens sooner or later.

They commission photorealistic 3D interiors as a standard pitch
