Draft — for a Netlify Deploy Preview and early review, not for merge yet.

What this does

Renames PoC → PoV (Proof of Value) and restructures the handbook/sales/meetings section around the SE's four stages, with the engagement's cross-cutting artifacts spun off as first-class assets.

The four SE stages (Discovery → Demo → Solution → PoV)

  • Discovery — produces the use case; SPICED + zone qualification begins here
  • Demo — introduces the Application Guide (fundamentals + delivery methods) via a relatable use-case hook; the old demo script is marked legacy (to be replaced by the new demo infra)
  • Solution — the deep design stage: app pattern, data plane, and architecture ("where FlowFuse lives") tailored to the customer's environment; its five outputs mirror the Pre-PoV checklist
  • PoV — the Validate stage: where it fits (stage 4), pre-PoV gates, meeting cadence (kickoff → check-ins → wrap-up), licensing

New first-class assets (root topics under Commercial Organization)

  • PoV Workbook — the 7-tab doc + shared definitions + the stage→portion map
  • FlowFuse Trial Environment — cloud vs self-hosted; trial-license policy (OSS free; cloud free 30 days; trial licenses only within a defined PoV)
  • Demo Apps — the public demo team + 6 publishing criteria

Also

  • 301 redirect /poc//pov/
  • Inbound-link updates across the handbook (sales index, engagements, solution-engineering, marketing)

Review

@MichaelBDavis — you own /handbook/sales; would love your comments on the structure and the PoV framing. Once the Netlify Deploy Preview builds, the rendered pages are under /handbook/sales/meetings/ and the new root topics under Commercial Organization.

Rename PoC -> PoV (Proof of Value) and restructure the sales/meetings
section around the SE's four stages, with the engagement's cross-cutting
artifacts spun off as first-class assets.

Stages (Discovery -> Demo -> Solution -> PoV), nav-ordered:
- Discovery: produces the use case; SPICED + zone qualification
- Demo: introduces the Application Guide (fundamentals + delivery methods)
  via a relatable use-case hook; existing script marked legacy
- Solution: deep design stage - app pattern, data plane, architecture
  ("where FlowFuse lives") tailored to the customer's environment; the
  five outputs mirror the Pre-PoV checklist
- PoV: Validate stage - where it fits (stage 4), pre-PoV gates, meeting
  cadence, licensing

New first-class assets (root topics under Commercial Organization):
- PoV Workbook: the 7-tab doc + shared definitions + stage->portion map
- FlowFuse Trial Environment: cloud vs self-hosted; trial-license policy
- Demo Apps: the public demo team + 6 publishing criteria

Also: 301 redirect /poc/ -> /pov/, and inbound-link updates across the
handbook (sales index, engagements, solution-engineering, marketing).

🔎 What changed — pages to review

Live on the Netlify Deploy Preview. Direct links so you don't have to hunt:

New pages

Page Preview Notes
PoV (renamed from PoC) /handbook/sales/meetings/pov/ old /poc/ 301-redirects here
PoV Workbook (new root topic) /handbook/sales/pov-workbook/ the doc + definitions + stage→portion map
FlowFuse Trial Environment (new root topic) /handbook/sales/flowfuse-trial-environment/ cloud vs self-hosted + trial-license policy
Demo Apps (new root topic) /handbook/sales/demo-apps/ public demo team + publishing criteria

Updated pages

Page Preview
Discovery /handbook/sales/meetings/discovery/
Demo /handbook/sales/meetings/demo/
Solution /handbook/sales/meetings/solution/

The three new root topics appear in the left nav under Commercial Organization, right after Sales Meetings.

Redirect

  • /handbook/sales/meetings/poc//handbook/sales/meetings/pov/ (301, in nuxt/redirects.ts)

ℹ️ The failing Check links CI check is a pre-existing main issue — a missing image (ANDON-Screenshot-…avif) referenced by old blog/changelog/blueprint content, not anything in this PR. The Netlify preview built successfully.
