Tier:
anonymous
Persona: board-leader-mark-evaluator

Preconditions

- Task: evaluate ChurchWiseAI for board approval
- Evaluates on ROI, security, total cost, multi-role value, staff adoption
Steps
| # | Action | Expected Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Land on homepage from pastor's link | Copy addresses whole church value, not just pastors. Mentions staff, volunteers, office, ministry teams. |
| 2 | Identify concrete capabilities (not vague AI) | Specific features visible: 'Answers calls 24/7', 'Captures visitor contacts', 'Never miss follow-ups', 'Schedule coordination' |
| 3 | Navigate to pricing page | Prices clearly visible as dollar amounts (e.g. $14.95/mo). Tier names present (Starter, Pro, Suite). No 'Contact Sales' required. |
| 4 | Check multi-role value proposition | Pricing/features broken down by role: pastor uses voice/chatbot, office staff uses visitor tracking, volunteers use scheduling, board sees analytics. |
| 5 | Look for security/compliance information | Data handling policy visible. 'Enterprise-grade encryption' or similar messaging present. Privacy/terms links accessible. |
| 6 | Check for ROI/case study evidence | Case study, testimonial from similar church, or metrics (e.g. '60% reduction in missed visitor contacts') visible. |
| 7 | Search for annual pricing | Annual plan shown with discount (e.g. pay ~11 months, save 1 month). Cost comparison calculator available. |
| 8 | Verify implementation/onboarding info | Setup time, support level, training availability mentioned. No surprise hidden costs. |
Known Failure Modes
- Copy only targets pastors — board member doesn't see value for whole church
- Features vague or buzzword-heavy — evaluator can't understand concrete ROI
- Pricing hidden behind 'Contact Sales' — can't present numbers to board
- Annual pricing unavailable — can't calculate 3-year TCO for board approval
- No security/compliance info — board flagged as risk

Notes
Mark (55, retired VP Ops) evaluates whether the church should buy ChurchWiseAI. Thinks in ROI, security, TCO, and multi-role value. Needs: pricing clarity, concrete capabilities, proof of church-wide value, security assurance, case evidence. Lifecycle tests miss this — they verify features work, not "should we buy?" See: brand.md, PRICING.md for messaging and pricing source of truth.
