In B2B / Enterprise specifically, Buying committee size (avg 6.8 stakeholders per Gartner) means single-contact campaigns miss most of the decision — ABM requires coordinated multi-contact, multi-channel orchestration that most martech stacks can't execute cleanly — GDPR and CASL apply to email outreach in EU/Canada; CAN-SPAM governs US commercial email; sector-specific overlay rules apply (e.g., FedRAMP for GovTech, ITAR for defense)..
