But when it works

Branch: [spends over a month speed-running new edtech adoption, vetting three tools, organizing demos, being stalked by vendors, wringing votes out of the stakeholder faculty] Contestant B, you are the winner! Gimme a pilot contract and we'll negotiate.

Vendor B: [nearly salivating into their email] Possibly 10K users, you say? Possibly 20K? Why yes, we can do you an unlimited pilot for dirt cheap, and would you like to see our price teiring with massive discounts for volume? Would it help if you just gave us a Purchase Order and we'll get your faculty access before the contract actually goes through? Whatever you need! XD XD XD

Branch: [down to about one millimeter of cope, finally relaxes] It's good to be king, over half of a large and prestigious university, king.

So very relieved to have gotten through that.
