Post-sale · the 14th environment
The post-sale lane. Katalyst reads adoption stalls, renewal hesitation, expansion resistance, and sponsor drift — the resistance that lives after the deal is signed.
The resistance here
Buyer signal
“They've gone quiet since onboarding and aren't responding.”
Pattern
Adoption stall — silence after a strong start usually signals stuck implementation, not lost interest.
Emotional signal
Avoidance — protecting themselves from looking like the team that couldn't make it work.
Hidden read
Someone internal hit friction they don't want to admit, so the account went dark instead of asking for help.
Impact statement
“The quiet isn't disinterest — it's a team that got stuck and doesn't want to say so. Give them a way back in that costs them no face.”
Next move
Offer one specific win you'll drive for them this week. Re-anchor to the original outcome, not the contract.
