Champion decks fail because they only speak to one person—your main contact. When your champion tries to sell your solution to their CFO, VP Ops, or CTO, the value proposition doesn't translate.

Your champion deck needs to be modular: one story for the champion, separate one-pagers for everyone else they need to convince.
