One customer asks for a data-use promise that must remain true across two enterprise products.

Who you’d be doing this for
“Our privacy team keeps asking whether the contract says the same thing as the admin controls.”

Owns access and data-governance controls for a regulated enterprise evaluating Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max.
What is at stake
A regulated customer has rejected conflicting data-use terms across two enterprise products. You must protect a consistent contract position without delaying procurement.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- procurement speed vs. accurate product commitments
- customer-specific assurance vs. reusable precedent
- data-use restrictions vs. future product flexibility
- commercial momentum vs. security representation discipline
Why Perplexity
Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max serve regulated customers that need contractual commitments to match governed product controls.
