Why is ACV helpful as a glossary term?
Because many buyers search for the narrow term first and then need the broader workflow context to understand how software should support it.
Does ACV belong in the estimate only?
No. Teams also need the communication, documentation, and revision trail around the estimate to stay clear in the operating record.
