We're in a hiring freeze — no new tools that would require headcount to implement.

"We implement on our side — your team reviews and approves, we do the technical work. Zero headcount required on your end. The implementation burden is ours, not yours."

"Is the freeze about headcount, or about overall spend? If it's specifically headcount, tools with zero-touch implementation might be exempt."

"Hiring freezes are real — and they're usually about protecting cash, not about blocking value. If a tool saves more time than it costs in implementation, the headcount argument goes away."
