What the seller owns vs what AI owns

Seller owns

The room (read tone & tension)
The ask (reframe value per stakeholder)
The moment (pause, probe, pivot)
The trust (presence under pressure).

AI owns

The log (notes, CRM)
The draft (emails, follow-ups, briefs)
The signal (intent, objections)
The prompt (what to do next)
