The client started with an ambitious list of requirements. After reviewing the first month's engineering deliverables — which included competitive benchmarking data they had never seen before — they voluntarily narrowed their focus to the highest-impact items. This was not scope reduction from budget pressure; it was strategic prioritization enabled by data clarity.
