Discipline - Sell
Because Mail is not a technical product to implement, we have decided that we will only have 2 levels.
Current product limitations prevent partners from demoing; only internal teams can demo for now.
Product and branding changes (e.g., "Mail" rebranding) add complexity and require flexibility in accreditation planning.
PMM team needs to "loosen the grip" on demo access in the future to enable more advanced partner roles. → Decision: Accreditation scope must reflect what partners can actually do today, with a plan to revisit as constraints are lifted.
