The buyer wants one website-and-app operating model, but its cloud boundary excludes the current path.
The CMO is protecting a faster agency handoff while the CTO is protecting where application compute runs.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Our CMO wants this live soon, and my team keeps asking where the app actually runs after handoff.”

Owns the developer team that would inherit applications delivered by the company’s agency partners.
What is at stake
A $150,000 ACV deal is blocked because the CTO requires AWS-bound compute and the CMO needs faster agency handoffs. You have to weigh a quarter-close commitment against a contract promise the delivery path may not support.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- quarter-close ARR vs. credible technical commitments
- CMO urgency vs. CTO infrastructure control
- custom terms vs. repeatable enterprise motion
- agency handoff speed vs. operational ownership
