Pricing resistance rarely announces itself. It shows up as a question about contract length, a comparison to an incumbent tool, or a request to involve someone new in the process.
Individually these read as ordinary friction. In aggregate, a rise in one of them across a segment is an early warning that something in positioning has stopped landing.
The value is not in flagging a single call. It is in noticing that mentions of a particular competitor tripled in six weeks, or that a discount request now appears in half of mid market conversations.
That is a signal a pricing team can act on while the quarter is still open.
