TL;DR
- Effective content starts with knowing whether you're writing for a technical buyer or an economical buyer.
- Technical buyers (the end users) want specs, data, comparisons and hands-on trials.
- Economical buyers (the budget holders) weigh ROI, risk, strategic fit and time-to-value.
- Audit and label every asset by buyer type — most life science teams over-index on technical and under-serve the economical buyer.
