What this Team Lead actually cares about
A team lead in Marketing is protecting the team's focus and their own already-split calendar. They're in the tools all day. They care whether this creates more tickets for their people.

Body

In Marketing, that usually shows up as attribution arguments, creative fatigue, and a stack of tools that don't share data. If this needs to be split across two cost centers, I can reissue it.
