Market context
A machine is bought for a process, not for a sector. Two companies with the same industry code can have entirely different requirements, while a foundry and a recycling operation might need the same handling equipment.
That is why prospect discovery reasons from application, throughput and material handled rather than from industry classification alone.
Application-first segmentation
Segments are built from what the equipment does, which surfaces adjacent industries a classification-based list would miss.
Aftermarket and parts
Parts, consumables and service contracts are separate products with separate buyers, and can be modelled as such.
Long cycles need durable audiences
Saved audience definitions stay stable across a multi-quarter cycle, so messaging does not drift each time someone rebuilds a list.
