No chief buys anything alone. Between the first demo and a signed contract sit six other people - a deputy guarding the operational calendar, supervisors who will carry the workload, officers and a union watching for a gotcha tool, legal weighing records exposure, finance holding the line item, and IT asking what touches the network. Most purchases don't die in the demo. They die in rooms you're not in, argued by people who heard about the idea secondhand.
This infographic maps all seven seats and the one message each needs to hear: recognition data for the union, no PII and no integration lift for IT and legal, a per-officer line item finance can compare against six-figure exposure. Use it before you champion anything internally - walk the map, name who fills each seat in your agency, and arm your allies with the answer their room will demand before the question gets asked there.
