16 00:00:30.990 ⇒ 00:00:36.449 Uttam Kumaran: It’s like a nice summer day here. It’s like kind of spring. It’s like a little. It’s like a little windy, but it’s.
17 00:00:36.450 ⇒ 00:00:36.820 Patrick Trainer: Yeah.
18 00:00:36.820 ⇒ 00:00:38.490 Uttam Kumaran: Nice to be outside, perfect.
19 00:00:38.700 ⇒ 00:00:43.550 Patrick Trainer: That’s how it’s that’s how it’s been like the past, I guess, like few days. And it was
20 00:00:44.000 ⇒ 00:00:45.789 Patrick Trainer: amazing. It’s like that
21 00:00:46.370 ⇒ 00:00:50.146 Patrick Trainer: couple of weeks that we get before. It’s like brutal outside.
22 00:00:50.490 ⇒ 00:00:51.789 Uttam Kumaran: In the south.
23 00:00:51.790 ⇒ 00:00:53.270 Patrick Trainer: And exactly.
24 00:00:53.270 ⇒ 00:00:54.180 Uttam Kumaran: Like where I’m at.
25 00:00:54.180 ⇒ 00:01:02.439 Patrick Trainer: Yeah, yeah. And so today, it’s kinda gray. And it’s like 95% humidity. It’s ridiculous.
26 00:01:03.565 ⇒ 00:01:04.690 Uttam Kumaran: Nice.
27 00:01:04.690 ⇒ 00:01:05.400 Patrick Trainer: Yeah.
28 00:01:05.940 ⇒ 00:01:09.669 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. I basically wanted to see like what we can think about
29 00:01:09.840 ⇒ 00:01:18.040 Uttam Kumaran: for amplah. I wanted to get back to them like a week ago. But I just like I’m just saying with, I’m just running out of time. Basically, I’m kind of like.
30 00:01:18.470 ⇒ 00:01:22.870 Uttam Kumaran: if what do you? I think basically, my idea is, I think.
31 00:01:23.070 ⇒ 00:01:27.629 Uttam Kumaran: their data. They need to be doing in something with some sophistication like evidence.
32 00:01:28.185 ⇒ 00:01:34.059 Uttam Kumaran: In order to do all the things we suggested. They seem to have a bi person now.
33 00:01:34.170 ⇒ 00:01:36.969 Uttam Kumaran: So I wonder if there’s 2 things. One
34 00:01:36.990 ⇒ 00:01:41.600 Uttam Kumaran: we suggest like, Hey, you should check out. This, too, is like, maybe we can get on the phone with that guy.
35 00:01:42.070 ⇒ 00:01:43.160 Uttam Kumaran: I am.
36 00:01:43.700 ⇒ 00:01:45.590 Uttam Kumaran: And basically I think, like
37 00:01:46.400 ⇒ 00:01:51.440 Uttam Kumaran: we can do something to kind of get that account going again, because I haven’t talked to.
38 00:01:51.680 ⇒ 00:01:52.960 Uttam Kumaran: Okay in a little bit.
39 00:01:54.020 ⇒ 00:01:56.470 Patrick Trainer: Yeah, yeah, no. I think I think that’s
40 00:01:56.620 ⇒ 00:02:00.320 Patrick Trainer: a good idea. And like, from what I remember, too, it’s like they were
41 00:02:00.910 ⇒ 00:02:04.539 Patrick Trainer: like they were wanting to like, build this into a product right.
42 00:02:05.190 ⇒ 00:02:05.780 Uttam Kumaran: And so like.
43 00:02:05.780 ⇒ 00:02:07.020 Patrick Trainer: This was going to be
44 00:02:07.716 ⇒ 00:02:10.249 Patrick Trainer: or they need something. That
45 00:02:12.380 ⇒ 00:02:13.380 Patrick Trainer: is.
46 00:02:14.240 ⇒ 00:02:18.024 Patrick Trainer: I I mean going to be the same every single time. Deployable.
47 00:02:18.340 ⇒ 00:02:23.103 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, nothing. Nothing they did was didn’t seem seem impossible in evidence.
48 00:02:23.480 ⇒ 00:02:26.509 Uttam Kumaran: And because you could do templated things like
49 00:02:26.810 ⇒ 00:02:29.564 Uttam Kumaran: can have different language based on what the data showing.
50 00:02:29.840 ⇒ 00:02:30.160 Patrick Trainer: Right.
51 00:02:30.160 ⇒ 00:02:33.389 Uttam Kumaran: And I think I think structuring it in that report manner
52 00:02:33.690 ⇒ 00:02:36.800 Uttam Kumaran: is like super nice, you know.
53 00:02:36.800 ⇒ 00:02:45.439 Patrick Trainer: Yeah, right? Especially so that I mean, you think of their audience. It’s what they they had the like, the Cfo product, right?
54 00:02:45.450 ⇒ 00:02:46.570 Patrick Trainer: And so
55 00:02:47.240 ⇒ 00:02:49.640 Patrick Trainer: that’s gonna look familiar to them.
56 00:02:49.770 ⇒ 00:02:50.260 Patrick Trainer: And so.
57 00:02:50.260 ⇒ 00:02:50.910 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
58 00:02:50.910 ⇒ 00:02:54.130 Patrick Trainer: Yeah, yeah, no. I think that’s I think that’s a good idea.
59 00:02:55.440 ⇒ 00:03:06.889 Uttam Kumaran: So what do you think? Do you wanna shoot a note to them? Basically I don’t. I don’t know how like I just don’t think it’s a good use of our time to like. Go find one by one, examples
60 00:03:06.900 ⇒ 00:03:08.620 Uttam Kumaran: of stuff. I think
61 00:03:09.080 ⇒ 00:03:10.789 Uttam Kumaran: what would be cool is
62 00:03:10.810 ⇒ 00:03:14.890 Uttam Kumaran: as if you can try to get him or the bi guy the phone.
63 00:03:15.130 ⇒ 00:03:17.620 Uttam Kumaran: And even just say, like, this isn’t gonna use
64 00:03:18.040 ⇒ 00:03:26.080 Uttam Kumaran: this. This you could just say like, Hey, would it be? It’d be cool to get to show you guys what we’ve been learning about evidence. And I think it’s perfect for this use case
65 00:03:26.090 ⇒ 00:03:27.850 Uttam Kumaran: as a ton of different
66 00:03:27.950 ⇒ 00:03:29.380 Uttam Kumaran: federal nations.
67 00:03:30.030 ⇒ 00:03:31.809 Uttam Kumaran: You guys wanna get back on the phone.
68 00:03:32.690 ⇒ 00:03:35.229 Patrick Trainer: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no. I think that works.
69 00:03:37.090 ⇒ 00:03:37.640 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.
70 00:03:37.640 ⇒ 00:03:38.586 Patrick Trainer: Yeah, I’ll
71 00:03:39.470 ⇒ 00:03:40.580 Patrick Trainer: We gotta dig
72 00:03:41.290 ⇒ 00:03:43.007 Patrick Trainer: back just to
73 00:03:44.080 ⇒ 00:03:48.120 Patrick Trainer: get context on his on his last email. And just remember where we’re at.
74 00:03:48.636 ⇒ 00:03:53.759 Patrick Trainer: But yeah, I can get that, or just start the thread again, at least.
75 00:03:54.250 ⇒ 00:03:55.720 Patrick Trainer: and try and get them.
76 00:03:56.284 ⇒ 00:04:00.820 Patrick Trainer: So who’s there? You? You said you think they have a new bi guy.
77 00:04:01.360 ⇒ 00:04:01.770 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
78 00:04:01.770 ⇒ 00:04:02.929 Patrick Trainer: Like a guy. He!
79 00:04:03.180 ⇒ 00:04:03.979 Patrick Trainer: He doesn’t need.
80 00:04:03.980 ⇒ 00:04:06.380 Uttam Kumaran: Email saying, we have a new bi person starting.
81 00:04:06.830 ⇒ 00:04:07.195 Patrick Trainer: Okay.

83 00:04:16.990 ⇒ 00:04:18.478 Uttam Kumaran: If you look up
84 00:04:19.290 ⇒ 00:04:24.149 Uttam Kumaran: customer, revenue projection, dashboard edit. That’s the subject. Or if you just search ample.
85 00:04:24.530 ⇒ 00:04:25.089 Patrick Trainer: Yeah, okay.

103 00:05:35.600 ⇒ 00:05:39.700 Uttam Kumaran: I was hoping for a little more specificity, because there’s some smaller execution details.
104 00:05:40.160 ⇒ 00:05:44.999 Uttam Kumaran: Can you provide a screenshot of a graph you had created in the past? I think you should just say like
105 00:05:45.940 ⇒ 00:05:47.080 Uttam Kumaran: they were just sitting there.
106 00:05:47.570 ⇒ 00:05:48.270 Uttam Kumaran: US.
107 00:05:50.370 ⇒ 00:05:52.510 Uttam Kumaran: But whatever you think is best.

115 00:06:26.920 ⇒ 00:06:27.590 Patrick Trainer: Awesome.
116 00:06:27.590 ⇒ 00:06:32.479 Uttam Kumaran: I also think he’s the CTO. So maybe he’s just running out of time.
117 00:06:32.480 ⇒ 00:06:32.840 Patrick Trainer: Yeah.
118 00:06:32.840 ⇒ 00:06:34.300 Uttam Kumaran: We’re gonna do it.

123 00:06:45.040 ⇒ 00:06:47.230 Patrick Trainer: I have some sort of choice.
124 00:06:47.230 ⇒ 00:06:48.200 Uttam Kumaran: I think so.
125 00:06:48.200 ⇒ 00:06:48.890 Patrick Trainer: Okay.
126 00:06:49.520 ⇒ 00:06:53.510 Uttam Kumaran: I think I think at least, that guy’s gonna be more in our world.
127 00:06:53.820 ⇒ 00:06:57.950 Uttam Kumaran: So probably easier to be like where that we could help you guys.
