CTO
Competitor · Warehouse-native
Warehouse-native matters to us, and Holistics makes a lot of it. What do we get from Hex that Holistics doesn't give us?
VALIDATE → PIVOT → EVIDENCE
Validate. Acknowledge that Holistics is a credible choice on warehouse-native.
Pivot. Explore what specifically matters to them about warehouse-native, then differentiate on that, not generically.
Evidence. Offer a concrete outcome — a named customer, a pilot, a measurement they can repeat — rather than a positioning statement or a feature table.
Coaching note. Never bash the competitor. The explore step is about finding the cracks, not attacking the choice.

Head of Data
Competitor · Governed semantic layer
We've been looking at Holistics for governed semantic layer. Why would we go with Hex?
VALIDATE → PIVOT → EVIDENCE
Validate. Acknowledge that both products make the case on governed semantic layer, so the buyer is right to ask what separates them.
Pivot. Ask which part of governed semantic layer matters most in their evaluation, then show where Hex's approach differs, with evidence.
Evidence. Offer a concrete outcome — a named customer, a pilot, a measurement they can repeat — rather than a positioning statement or a feature table.
Coaching note. Don't claim a difference you can't show. If the products genuinely overlap here, say so and move to the criteria where they don't.
