 "honest_knock": "It's built for large organizations — the site claims 100+ enterprises deployed globally and 2.9M+ learners trained, with Danone among the named references — and the sales-led, quote-only motion reflects that: there is no self-serve tier to trial quietly, so smaller teams can't just kick the tires before procurement gets involved.",
