Gerald Hutchins

Maria and Ananya probed Gerald's audit cycle and environment, uncovering the QSA deadline that drives urgency.

Maria directly acknowledged the March outage and offered the post-incident review without deflecting.

Maria proposed a concrete technical deep-dive and Gerald accepted, also requesting a mapping one-pager.

Elena tied the v2 release details directly back to Forge's specific frameworks and audit pain points, confirming fit rather than just reading release notes.

Elena answered Gerald's question about report lag plainly and without dismissing it, clarifying that the data is continuously synced.

David secured concrete next steps with an owner and a deadline.

When Gerald mentioned Protect and Detect, neither vendor asked who else is involved in the decision or what timeline Forge is working toward for Detect.

Gerald said he needs substance, not faith, to take to his steering committee; the team committed to send materials today, so follow-through is critical.

The migration guide will be published on the same day as the GA release, which leaves no lead time for customers to prepare their control mappings ahead of the rollout.
