Reasoning process
How Juno produced this recommendation

Five stages, in the order they ran: what Juno planned to find out, what it retrieved, what it concluded, what it checked before showing you anything, and only then the recommendation itself.

  • Identify customer evidence

    1 customer interviews retrieved and read.

  • Review support trends

    No support tickets matched this theme.

  • Review sales feedback

    No sales note references this theme.

  • Review engineering feasibility

    No engineering estimate on file; technical risk is scored from comparable work.

  • Compare against strategic goals

    Leadership has asked for a story, but no goal quantifies it.

  • Name what is still unknown

    1 gaps recorded with an owner and a discovery question.

  • Check for conflicting stakeholder input

    1 conflict(s) surfaced rather than averaged away.

Primary supporting evidence
  • E-052 artifacts

    On-prem demand is executive-driven; only one interview confirmed it as a blocker.

  • E-111 artifact

    The CEO's on-prem push is not tied to a named account or dollar figure.

  • E-131 artifact

    At least one enterprise VP explicitly does not need on-prem, regional residency + SOC 2 is enough.

Business rationale

Speculative; no named account and no figure.

Customer rationale

One enterprise VP explicitly said they do not need it.

Strategic rationale

Leadership has asked for a story, but no goal quantifies it.

Key risks
  • Committing on executive intuition would consume the same enterprise capacity the SSO revenue depends on.
  • An on-prem topology carries long-term support cost that no current account has agreed to pay for.
Assumptions
  • Executive intuition reflects real demand.

Ranks last because the only supporting artifact is an executive request, and customer evidence points the other way.

The CEO has asked for an on-prem story by Q4, but customer signal is mixed and no named account cites on-prem as a hard blocker.

Ranks last: high risk, contradicts customer signal, no named revenue.

Evidence strength reflects how many independent artifacts support this recommendation and how varied they are, not how certain the model sounds.

Transparent scoring model

Risks

  • Committing on executive intuition would consume the same enterprise capacity the SSO revenue depends on.
  • An on-prem topology carries long-term support cost that no current account has agreed to pay for.
Leadership

CEO wants on-prem story by Q4.

Customer

One enterprise VP explicitly does not need it.

Engineering

High technical risk, new deploy topology.

Sales

Nordic mentioned it as secondary to SSO.

Conflicting stakeholder input

Leadership pushes on-prem (E-11) but customer + pipeline data point to SSO (E-01) as the actual blocker.

Additional discovery recommended

Juno names what it does not know, who can answer it, and how to ask, so limited confidence turns into a discovery step rather than a dead end.

The share of blocked enterprise deals that cite on-prem rather than SSO.

Why it matters: It is the one number that would either justify the investment or close the question.

Validation experiment · interview · effort M

Top-20 enterprise prospect survey on on-prem vs SaaS

Hypothesis: ≤20% of prospects treat on-prem as a hard requirement.

Juno proposes this step because it would close the largest gap listed above. You decide whether to run it.

Decision required

Decision required. Juno recommends, you decide, and nothing reaches the roadmap without you.

Final prioritization decisions remain the responsibility of the Product Manager.
