Deliberation

That's what I meant when I said all of your deliberation on the matter was meaningless and that you are basically just shuffling papers around.
Hym "Yeah, like... If the Anti-Spiral is active, all of the deliberation you're doing, talking to eachother about what you are going to do or how you are going to handle this, none of that is going to matter. The people who are making the decisions are going to be dead soon. You have literally wasted all of this time and you sacrificed the lives of the people beneath you so that you could continue to stall for time that you continue to waste by deliberating over something over which you have no say. You're trying to negotiate with thermodynamics. You're arguing with a lightswitch. And for what? A delusion about your own importance and the importance of your role in society. The necessity of remaining above me conceptually. Even if you are really not."

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
