Centari growth playbook

Turn on Webflow's sitemap, add a robots.txt that points to it, submit both in Search Console, and give every post a unique title and description. Check that the case study and each launch post are indexed.

It costs an hour and makes every piece of content Centari has already written discoverable to the KM leaders and GCs the sales team is about to contact.

• Old brand pages compete with the new ones

Add the standard security headers through Webflow and Cloudflare or the hosting layer (Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, frame protections), test with HubSpot forms, then save the new grade for security questionnaires.

It removes a cheap objection from a sale where security is one of three stakeholders who must say yes.

In HubSpot: Law Firm goes to the Legal AEs, Financial Services to the Financial Services AEs, both with a four-hour first-touch target. In-House Legal and Government go to a short qualification call and a tag, so leadership can see whether "the enterprise" is already asking.

Speed matters when buyers are rare and senior, and the untagged requests are free market research on the next segment.

• Low-quality requests

  Qualify by firm size before routing to senior sellers.

A one-page pilot guide for prospects: the use case, the documents needed, the calibration step with Centari's attorneys, three measurable success criteria, length, price and the conversion terms. Share it in every second meeting and keep it on a gated page.

Prospects in large firms need to explain a pilot internally; a clear document gives the champion that explanation and stops pilots drifting into free consulting.

What we will do: calibrate Centari on {N} of your {deal type} documents with our attorneys.
What you provide: the documents, one KM lead and one partner sponsor.
Success criteria: 1) {accuracy target} on {fields}; 2) {time saved} on {task}; 3) {use} in {N} live matters or pitches.
Length: {weeks} weeks. Price: {price}, credited to the first year.
If the criteria are met: {contract terms} start on {date}.

• Large firms want custom terms

  Keep the standard as the starting point and record exceptions.

One packet: SOC 2 Type II report request, ISO 27001 certificate, completed standard questionnaires, data handling and training policy, ethical wall enforcement, sub-processors, the website security grade and a standard MSA. Send it as soon as a deal reaches the pilot stage.

Security review is often the longest stage; starting it early runs it in parallel with the pilot instead of after it.

• Answers go stale

  Review the packet every quarter.

Four short proof sheets, each with the quote from the matching customer role, the outcome that role cares about, and one example from the product. Sellers send the right one to each person in the deal.

Multi-stakeholder deals stall on the person nobody briefed; a sheet per role makes it easy for the champion to brief them.

With the law firm's agreement, measure External Views opened by fund clients. Offer participating firms a co-hosted session for their fund clients on "what your fund has agreed to across its deals", and give funds that engage a path to their own Centari database.

The hardest part of a new vertical is the first meeting; the law firm makes it, and the fund has already seen the product working on its own deals.

• Law firms fear Centari selling to their clients

  Make it opt-in, co-hosted and credited to the firm.

A practical workshop for BD and marketing directors at AmLaw firms: how clients judge experience claims, how to build a pitch from deal data, and examples. Run it at legal marketing events and as a webinar, with a pitch-audit offer at the end.

BD directors are a stakeholder few legal AI vendors sell to, and they speak for the partners who decide.

• BD teams lack budget

  Bring the partner sponsor into the audit meeting.

Shortlist five service providers by overlap with target funds; offer a referral or co-sell arrangement where the provider introduces Centari for side-letter and obligation tracking, and run one joint session for their fund clients.

Funds trust their administrators with documents already, so an introduction from one skips much of the trust building.

• Providers build their own tools

  Pick partners who would rather refer than build.

List Centari in Microsoft's app marketplace with the Copilot integration, join Microsoft's partner co-sell programs, and run a "deal data in Copilot" demo for firms' innovation teams. Track deals where the firm's AI rollout was the reason to talk.

Firms' AI rollouts create budget and urgency; being where their Copilot rollout happens puts Centari into that project.

• Partner programs are slow

  Sell directly to innovation teams meanwhile.

Target 50 private credit managers with one offer: Centari structures a sample of their credit agreements and returns the obligations, notice requirements and amendment history in a week. Build every message, event and reference around that segment.

An event plan for the year: the KM and innovation events for law, two private markets events for finance. For each: a target list, a pre-event sequence, a customer co-speaker where possible and a dinner for KM leaders.

The buyers in both segments are a small, known group who all attend the same few events.

• Expensive booths, few meetings

  Pre-book first; buy booth space only where meetings justify it.

Turn each quoted customer into a case study with the problem, the documents structured, how each team uses it and two numbers. Start with the fund GC, then the asset management practice, the innovation leader and the KM manager.

Buyers in both segments want proof from peers; a fund case study unlocks the finance team's outbound.

A standard paid pilot: a fixed fee for a fixed scope, credited in full against the first year if the firm converts on time. Discount only by scope, never by waiving the fee.

A paid pilot is a buying decision already made, filters out curious firms, and funds the calibration work.

A ten-question online assessment that places a firm on the maturity model and returns a short report with the next steps, benchmarked against anonymized results. The report offers a call to discuss it.

An assessment gives KM leaders something to take to partners, and gives Centari a qualified conversation with the person who owns the problem.

Help two customer firms publish an annual study of deal terms from their own structured data, credited "powered by Centari". Each study markets the firm and shows the product to every reader at other firms and funds.

The studies are the firm's marketing and Centari's at once, and every reader is a likely buyer.

A standard package: LPAs, side letters and credit agreements structured with a fixed schema, an obligations calendar, MFN tracking and LP question answers, at a fixed price by fund size. Custom work stays for the largest funds.

Standard packages shorten the cycle for the many funds that do not need custom calibration, and they make the finance business repeatable.

Use the tagged in-house demand from idea 3 to pick a segment (serial acquirers in one industry), run three design-partner pilots, and decide on a team only when two convert.

Corporate buyers have larger budgets than most firms and the same documents; the existing engine applies with little change.

• Spreads focus across three segments

  Keep it to design partners until law and finance hit plan.

Release a benchmark built on public agreements (for example, credit agreements and merger agreements filed publicly): tasks such as tracing defined terms, reconciling amendments and finding conditions, with results for general models and Centari. Update it twice a year.

Benchmarks get cited by press, analysts and AI answers, and they move the conversation from "every firm has the same AI" to evidence.

• Accused of grading its own homework

  Publish the tasks, answers and method so others can rerun them.

Use the Gilbert + Tobin story for outbound to the major firms in Australia and Singapore, attend one regional legal innovation event, and qualify demand before any hiring.

A strong regional reference and local legal expertise already exist; the cost is a few weeks of outbound.

• Time zones strain a small team

  Use the Singapore counsel for calibration and support.

Track job changes of active users at customer firms, and when one joins a fund or a company, reach out within two weeks with a short note and a pilot offer for their new team.

A former user is the warmest possible contact at a new account, and the move from firm to fund is a common career path.

• Users have little say at the new job at first

  Ask for an introduction to the decision maker rather than a pitch.
