From the source SKILL.md

This skill prepares a demand gen or marketing leader for the budget conversation with a CEO, CFO, or board. The goal is not to produce a slide deck. The goal is to walk into that conversation with the right numbers, the right framing, and clear answers to the three or four questions that will determine whether the budget holds or gets cut.
