What pricetag do we talk here? Its also different ppl having the power to order. Generalising broadly, here it is:

- up to 1000$, engineer can directly orde - up to 10k manager needs to get involved - 100k manager manager needs to get involved - above 100k CEO, and if government than official request for tender needs to be issued

Depending on what tier you are different approaches and different time frames need to be considered.

For me everything above 100k needs around 2 years from the moment the customer (who will later use it) says: 'this is great, we need that' to the purchase order beeing on the table.
