Regarding the challenge of a company building a product listing without pricing, what is the possible solution for this? Let's take a hypothetical situation of exactly the same problem. In this hypothetical scenario, let's say I strongly recommended to show pricing and make it transaction ready first as it delivered value and benefits early on, but due to the team and organisational politics, it was decided to go with the product listing first. In this scenario, how do you encourage an organisation and the team to see what delivers the most value first?
