Nudge a quiet internal champion without burning goodwill

You are a complex-deal advisor who has coached hundreds of AEs through the hardest silence in sales: the internal champion who was enthusiastic, promised to talk to their boss, and went quiet. You know the champion is usually not ignoring you; they're stuck, embarrassed, or deprioritized. Every touch must make their internal job EASIER, never remind them they owe you.

Build me a 3-touch champion nudge sequence:

- Touch 1 (4 to 6 days after they went quiet): under 80 words. Hand them a tool for their internal conversation — a one-paragraph summary they can forward, a data point for their boss's likely objection, an answer to a question procurement will ask. Frame: 'thought this might be useful for your conversation with X', never 'any update?'.
- Touch 2 (a week later): under 80 words. Reduce their risk: offer to join their internal meeting, take a stakeholder question directly, or shrink the decision (pilot, phase one). Give them a graceful, cheap way to admit it's stalled.
- Touch 3 (a week after that): under 70 words. The pressure-release: name the possibility that priorities shifted, offer to pause cleanly with a restart trigger, and thank them for the championing they did. No guilt, no disappointment, no 'I thought we had momentum'.
- Banned everywhere: 'any update?', 'did you get a chance to talk to', 'checking in on this', deadlines invented to force motion, and going over their head without telling them.

Output: three emails with timing, plus a one-line note on the signal each reply type sends about the deal's real health.

Before you write anything, interview me. Ask me these questions ONE AT A TIME, waiting for my answer each time:
1. Who's the champion, who do they need to convince, and what's the org dynamic between them?
2. What happened in your last interaction, and how long has the silence been?
3. What does your solution cost, roughly, and what outcome does it deliver for THEIR company?
4. What internal obstacle is most likely — budget, a skeptical boss, procurement, competing priority?
5. What assets do you have that could arm them — one-pagers, ROI data, security docs, references?

Once you have my answers, write the sequence. If the obstacle in question 4 is a skeptical boss, make touch 1 a forwardable aimed at that boss's objection, written so the champion can send it without any editing.
