This is based on Clampkages last video. I had a few thoughts about the whole thing that I wanna share with you real quick.
I'll be using Clampkages Ranking as a base for this post, although I don't agree with some of his predictions, but it's an interesting point of view nevertheless. His final NEL Ranking goes as follows:

1. Isagi: 300 Million
   
2. Barou: 250 - 275 Million
   
3. Rin: 225 - 250 Million
   
4. Bachira: 200+ Million
   
5. Nagi: 150+ Million
   
6. Shidou: 125 Million
   
7. Kunigami: 100 Million
   
8. Reo: 80 - 90 Million
   
9. Aiku: 70+ Million
   
10. Gagamaru: 60+ Million
    

Honorable Mentions:
Chigiri, Yukimiya, Kurona, Niko, Karasu
1. Barous and Nagis ranking
I often see Nagi and especially Barou really high in such rankings, because obviously they are at the very top of BL right now. A fact that is often overlooked when looked at this topic is that your NEL-Value doesn't increase at a steady rate. If players don't get better over time and manage to top their previous performances, their values won't increase.
Both Nagi and Barou got their rank by their outstanding performance in the last round, Nagi with his amazing Five Shot Revolver Fake Volley and Barou with his hat-trick. Fact is, if they don't manage to top this level or at least keep it up in this and next round, which would be challenging enough already, their values won't go up that much for the rest of the NEL. The Five Shot Revolver Fake Volley was deemed not recreatable by ego, and Barou must score another hat-trick this game to increase his value this far, which would be only possible if Ubers win against BM.
In my opinion, only one of them will get a significantly higher value, depending on who wins the Manshine vs. Ubers match, because it's very likely that either Barou or Nagi will be the Matchwinner. But even if they both somehow manage to evolve even beyond their current level, I highly doubt that their values would go higher than 200 Million from that.
2. Kaiser and Isagis ranking
Kaisers 300 Million has been the benchmark that's to overcome since the beginning of the NEL. Anyone in BL would basically need multiple supergoals in the next matches to reach that value. But I think it's likely Kaisers value will increase after the Ubers match due to his outstanding goal in chapter 220, making him untouchable for anyone we know that could get in reach. What I want to say with that is that it's possible that no one in BL will have a value higher or same as Kaiser, maybe they won't get near his level in the NEL arc at all.
We probably can all agree that Isagis value will increase both after the Ubers and the PXG game, the big question if it will be enough to come out on top of BL or even get on kaisers level. It's safe to say he will rank Top 5 or higher. He didn't get a really big moment until now, but he will propably get multiple big ones until the end of the NEL, he is the protagonist after all. If his value keeps growing at the current rate, he won't even be Top 10 at the end. In my opinion, this moment(s) will mainly be in the PXG game because it just makes more sense storywise and I still think that BM won't score another goal against Ubers. With only one really outstanding match, I don't see Isagi getting a ranking as high as 300 Million.
3. Kunigamis ranking
Kunigami is an interesting one. He was hyped up as the lone survivor of the Wildcard, the Noel Noah clone, Blue Locks dark horse. His performance until now didn't really live up to that, but his value increased steadily. I guess the clubs making these offers see the potential in him and his plays. Speaking of, this potential will show itself almost certainly in the PXG match after we see the wildcard flashback. Like stated, his potential is crazy high, so we're in for something that will boost his ranking significantly, maybe even a supergoal. Depending on how heavy the focus will be on him in the future, I can see him ending up in the Top 5 of BL.
4. Rin and Shidous ranking
The ranking of these two is even harder to predict as most others on this list, because they only played one full match up until now. If I got that right, they will play their third match against in the break between now and the BM match, which will be the fourth and last game for both teams. Rins and Shidous ranking after the Ubers game gave almost nothing away. They were both ranked pretty high for round 1 conditions, they both played simultaneously somehow, and Rin did overall better than Shidou. We still have no idea on how they managed to have them not killing each other on the field or the overall playstyle of PXG at all. u/MHWellington made a great post regarding this topic: link, feel free to read his post first, my theories are loosely based of this post.
I don't know if it's too much to assume they will surpass Isagis ranking after the BM/Ubers match already. Keep in mind that Isagis value will increase by a big amount after his goal. But I think it's safe to assume that they will be both over 50 Million after this match. They will definitely go for a hype moment with the next rankings like they did with Barou, the question is how big the moment will be, because they'll have to top it with the reveal after PXGs third match. A few theories on that:

1. BM loses, Isagi made one goal but couldn't prove himself as the matchwinner. Barous value is still higher than his. Rin surpasses him and is the new number two of BL.
   
2. BM wins, likely Isagi plays a big role in their victory. As he sees the new ranking he is now number two, Rin scored 2 or three goals and is now the new number one of BL.
   
3. Both Rin and Shidou surpass either him or Barou, depending on who of them is ranked lower after this match.
   
4. They both don't surpass Isagi but are ranked higher than him after round 2. Not much hype here, but in this case the tension until the results of PXGs third game will be much higher.
   

Now to the rankings after PXGs third match. Either Rin or Shidou are gonna be the new number one after this. It even could be that they're tied for first place. Depending on how high their ranking after round two is, it would be even possible that one of them gets the same value as kaiser, which would be crazy, but I don't want to rule it out.
Of course, their ranking will increase once more after the final match. I think Rin is a likely contender for BLs number one again. With Shidou it's a little bit trickier, because I see a good chance that he won't end up as 3rd or 2nd this time, but is he really gonna be number one. He would have to surpass Rin and possibly Isagi for this, so I'm not really sure.
Thank you if you have read this far. This is getting way too long, I think I'm going to make a follow-up post regarding my remaining points. Of course, these are all just my speculations and everything is highly debatable. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic, have a nice day :)

Hi guys,
I have a client that is using Account Engagement and operates in multiple countries. They have campaigns running in the respective countries and some countries are able to track UTM parameter values via the GA connector (as the first touch of course), while others are unable.
I really have scoured the internet for the past 2 weeks to find the resources to fix this but they just confuse the heck out of me.
The situation: there is one prospect record used as an example that has the GA fields populated. The client used this as an example that they are able to track it for that form, but not for another prospect that came from another country’s campaign, landing page and form. Obviously, my first thought was that this is comparing apples with oranges.
What I found out: The successful prospect submitted a form that was iframed on a landing page that was on the website. (I don’t have the landing page url yet, nor do I know the marketing assets that refer to that landing page).
The unsuccessful prospect record submitted a form that was embedded on a Pardot landing page. No GA fields are populated, but we set up custom UTM fields and we’re able to capture the values into those fields.
I feel like I am missing something super obvious. - should there be GA tracking code on the Pardot landing page so these GA fields get populated? -where should I start from when testing all of this? Do I start on the landing page and fill out the form, or do I click on a link on an ad to land on the page? - should there be other JS code on the page or form?
Also, I am unable to even get the GA fields populated for the successful prospect record’s scenario. I think this has to do with not going via their website landing page. But again, who am I to say after all of the questions above.
I’m looking for some superstars to guide me here, I’d greatly appreciate any help.
Disclaimer: I have checked for the basic stuff that you find when troubleshooting this but it’s possible that I overlooked something or didn’t validate correctly.

It's like the title says, for some reason, the cable driver (xpcwinusb.inf) is not installing on my laptop.
Let me get a few things out of the way:

1. I am attempting to install this on Windows 11 for ARM
2. I am running Windows 11 on my M1 MacBook Air via virtualization using Parallels
3. Buying a new laptop/pc isn't an option (no tengo dinero)
4. Using a different version of Vivado also isn't an option as 2019.1 is required by my professor

Now that that's clear, lemme tell you walk you through what I've already attempted.
So, initially, while installing Vivado, I got a pop up (see image below) basically saying that the install was successful but there were a couple warnings/errors, and to check cable_driver_install.log for more info. So I did, and this is what it contained:

INFO: InstallPath="C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2019.1\data\xicom\cable_drivers\nt64\" windrvr6 is not installed (this is expected for Windows 10 and later) INFO: Installing Windows 10 pcusb driver... Microsoft PnP Utility Processing inf : xpcwinusb.inf Adding the driver package failed : A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider. Total attempted: 1 Number successfully imported: 0 ERROR: Unable to install inf file C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2019.1\data\xicom\cable_drivers\nt64\dlc10_win10\xpcwinusb.inf for driver. ERROR: Failed to install Windows 10 pcusb driver, exiting 

Original Warning from right after Installation
So then I looked up what the issue might be, after a ton of seemingly useless searching, I ended up specifically looking up the line about the root certificate not being trusted. I found one link that provided me with a way of viewing all the root certificates on my installation of Windows via mmc (Microsoft Management Console). I also found out that the certificates used by/needed for Vivado were "Microsoft Root Certificate Authority", "Microsoft Root Certificate Authority 2010", and "Microsoft Root Certificate Authority 2011" and that if one of them is missing, that is likely the source of my problem. However, when I checked, they were all there, BUT, the first one, (the one without a year after) had expired in 2021.
Microsoft Management Console > Certificates (Local Computer) > Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates > Microsoft Root Certificate Authority
Support Forum where I found out which Certificates to look out for
So then I moved on to the next logical step which was to find out how to renew or extend the certificate so that hopefully the driver would install, but I haven't been really able to find anything concrete. There seems to be one reoccurring answer every time I search but it seems to be something that only works in Windows 10 because when I right click the certificate and go to "All Tasks", I am not given an option to renew the certificate. So now I'm stuck, as is, Vivado runs and I'm able to do everything as I need to, but whenever I plug in my board and use auto-connect to actually install the program onto the thing, I get nothing. Any and all help/advice would be extremely appreciated, thank you all so much!

First item is usually Statikk Shiv, but sometimes Stormrazor, buying shard first.
This person loves Galeforce and its always second item. I didn't think it was that powerful but maybe the active is very useful in challenger.
Third item is usually LDR but I see they sometimes go Collector or Wit's End depending on team comps.
Games are usually won by third item, but I see the final items are BloodthirsteWits Ends/GA/LDetc.
Boots goes berserkers or steelcaps. Also interesting is that they always pick fleet footwork.
Anyway hope bro gets rank 1.

Having a lesbian friend, dia gak setuju dengan konsep transgenderism, orang yg mengganti gender & jenis kelamin nya, non biner, ideologi gender lebih dari 2, gender fluid/gender bendegender queer.
She said that same sex attraction (LGB/SSA) itu sangat wajar & lumrah, dari first civilization juga udh ada. Gender & jenis kelamin orang SSA itu jelas sesuai yg dilahirkan, straight or not straight, only women & men. Her personal take/faith, no matter u straight or not, lakukan komitmen monogami, no poly relationship, no free sex, sexual activity only with 1 person, better do the sex part after monogamy agreement.
She said SSA is not mental illness while yg 'disease' itu orang gender dysphoria/transgenderism, gender fluid, non biner etc. Jadi dia gamau di samakan dengan TQ part nya, karena udh beda definisi bgt. Dia selain jadi musuh penganut agama samawi, jadi musuh leftist/liberal juga. I think I do agree with her but I have mixed feeling too.
For me kalo secara teori mau ngebasmi orang SSA gak akan pernah bisa, cuman transgenderism etc aja yg bisa ditenggelamkan, dengan cara jgn sediain HRT/operasi kelamin, jgn kasih kesempatan jadi atlet, kerja di militer etc. But IMO kasian juga for gender dysphoria people, itu beneran ada kan scientifically? Jadi orang yg beneran terbukti punya gender dysphoria itu yg beneran butuh diganti kelamin nya? Non biner, gender fluid, pronounce police ok lah too much.. Tapi kalo dysphoria gender??
Di RI transgender legal dgn syarat harus operasi kelamin dulu kan ya kayak mendiang dorce, lucinta Luna. jadi harus terbukti benar punya gender dysphoria *cmiiw. Millen Cyrus keponakan Ashanty ga operasi kelamin jadi keknya dia tetep dianggap cowok sama birokrasi RI? Terus kayaknya trans people di indo ga ada atau bahkan ga boleh ngambil pekerjaan seperti atlet, polisi, militer gitu ya? Hanya boleh di bidang Entertainment aja apa gimana.

A businessman in Finland has been slapped with a hefty €121,000, or $129,400, fine for speeding in a country where tickets are calculated based on income, a local paper Nya Åland reported.
Anders Wiklöf, the chairman of Wiklöf Holding AB, was driving at 82km/h, or 51mph, when he entered a zone where the speed limit was 50km/h, or 31mph, per Nya Åland.
“I had just started to slow down, but I guess it didn’t happen fast enough,” Wiklöf told Nya Åland. “I really regret the matter.”
In Finland, speeding fines are linked to the offender’s salary and the speed at which they were going when they committed the offense.
Here is the full story. Via Anecdotal.

Ecclesiastes 10:18~" By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through."
By much slothfulness the building decayeth~

1. The Lord Jesus was not speaking metaphorical when he said possession in this world is corrupted by moths and rust over time, and a very short time at that.
2. If measures at not implore regularly, even our greatest investment will soon decay and be worthless, or much less than if diligence was used properly.
3. Hoa's were created to ensure that others did their part to maintain their property value, so others who were diligent did not suffer along with others who were too lazy to do the simple work needed to preserved their investment.
4. However, there are houses, such as a kingdom, a nation, a family, a church, etc.
5. COnsidering the context and what we just considered above, about national prosperity. These as well we decay through the sin of slothfulness.
6. Care must be implemented and even force to preserve what we have labored for.

And through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through~A lazy man or woman cause the house to fall apart!

1. The application is higher, for it follows the context of folks ( leaders mainly ) given over to "excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries" ~1st Peter 4. Both sexes are equally the source this evil spoken of by Solomon. In my opinion men are more so, since the burden is on them to be leaders, of their household. Most godly women follow the lead of their husbands, IF the husband would just lead as he should.
2. Laziness affects all, and destroys much gain. A lazy father hurts his family~if he is lazy spiritually, ( the worst kind ) then all suffer the consequences of his laziness. In ALL work there is PROFIT, there is no profit in being lazy.
   Proverbs 24:30-34~"I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
   We can learn wisdom by others’ mistakes. Observation and analysis are great teachers, and Solomon was a master at both (Eccl 1:12-14; 2:11-13). It is our duty to learn from the mistakes of others and to teach our children to do so as well (Pr 19:19; 22:29).
   

Of course, we can also learn wisdom by observing the good choices and actions of wise men (Ps 37:37; Phil 3:17-21). It is a helpful habit to watch and identify the character or conduct that makes a man either foolish or wise. It reinforces the rules of wisdom.
Solomon here condemned lazy men (Pr 24:30-34). One of the first lessons parents must teach children is to get out of bed, work hard, and finish the job. Laziness is condemned often in Proverbs (Pr 6:6-11; 10:4; 12:24; 19:15,24; 20:4,13; 22:29). Observing and analyzing ants can also teach this wisdom (Pr 6:6-8; 30:25). Solomon knew his son’s success required his own diligence, and he also wanted him to reject lazy administrators.
Poverty is relatively easy to explain. Solomon saw that love of sleep costs many men their financial success. When he viewed derelict homes and property, he realized that the certain consequences of laziness had come to roost at those addresses. Men who enjoy sleeping in the morning and procrastinating in the evening will surely end up poor. Of course, the poor often have their ready excuses, but the facts of life are still the same.
A wise parent can be like Solomon to children. He can point out losers in life and the certain results that come when the Bible is not obeyed. Life can be the lesson guide for social studies in folly and wisdom. Son, do you see the shutters falling off that house? The owner intends to get to them, but he always finds a reason to wait. If he does not fix them soon, the house will eventually fall down, just like the Bible says (Eccl 10:18).

Previous attempt
Hey everyone! I've been working on my query. Manuscript-wise I'm essentially ready to go, but the query package is continually a struggle for me. Hopefully this version is clearer than other iterations.

Also for reference, this is an adult novel. Pretty much every beta I've had told advised against toning violence/themes down for YA, saying it works better as an Adult novel even with it starting in high school. So for that reason, I'd love feedback as to whether the query sounds too YA, as past queries where I didn't specify lead to that assumption.

Dear (Agent),
(Personalization). I am seeking representation for my queer supernatural thriller, HARVEY, complete at 98,000 words. With its emphasis on the Midwestern setting, it will appeal to fans of Gothic fiction and those with Y2K nostalgia.
In the fall of 1999, someone begins terrorizing the small, remote town of Harvey, Missouri. Some residents vanish without a trace, while others are found brutally murdered, their bodies lacerated and completely drained of blood.
There’s no clear pattern linking the victims, nor any viable suspects, but eighteen-year-old Oliver Whitman isn’t frightened about his own safety. After all, with his terminal genetic heart condition, death has loomed over him since birth, and he views his life as disposable—a mindset that his clandestine boyfriend, Jace, can’t seem to understand. Plus, no one but Oliver knows from wandering into the woods one evening that the culprits are beyond anything humanly imaginable. It’s an easy decision for him to sacrifice his life to protect his love from them.
Four years later, the last thing Jace—now a college senior—wants is to return to Missouri, especially Harvey, as he’s still grieving the loss of Oliver. However, when a former classmate’s body is found on the anniversary of Oliver's disappearance, Jace finds himself unwillingly pulled back in. While he has no idea who—or what—it is that has a personal vendetta against Harvey and its residents, a string of threatening messages written in blood make one thing certain: Jace is the next target.
Following dual POVs, HARVEY is a character-driven story that explores the lengths to which individuals will go to protect those they care about. My novel will appeal to fans of vampire novels such as CERTAIN DARK THINGS by Silvia Moreno-Garcia or THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB’S GUIDE TO SLAYING VAMPIRES by Grady Hendrix, and fans of queer, supernatural romances such as the GREEN CREEK series by T.J. Klune or THE DEAD AND THE DARK by Courtney Gould.
(Bio)
First 300
“Bob, it seems we’re hearing no new developments on the recent missing person case coming out of Harvey, Missouri this morning. Nineteen-year-old Tyler O’Sullivan is the ninth person in Adams County to turn up missing or dead this year.”
“Truly awful, Janice. And such a terrible situation for what we hear is such a small, close-knit community. I think I speak for everyone when I say we all hope they find him safe and sound.”
“Well, the O’Sullivan family and the Adams County Police Department are asking for anyone with any information to please call the number—”
“Did you know him?” Jace’s mother asked as he wandered into the kitchen that Monday morning. She was setting the crockpot for dinner, but her tired eyes seemed unable to break from the small box TV on the linoleum counter.
Jace Silva pulled the milk carton from the fridge and stared at the image on the TV. On it was a list of Tyler’s physical attributes and clothes he last wore alongside his senior yearbook photo. His gray eyes were partially obscured by his black bangs, yet seemed to pierce into Jace’s soul.
“Not really.”
Of course, he knew of Tyler. He frequently saw him in the school halls until his graduation last year. Living in a small, rural town in fuckall nowhere, Missouri it was hard not to know everyone at least by face, especially someone one grade above. With shaggy hair and edgy black clothing in the middle of the rural bible belt, he stood out like a sore thumb.
Tyler and his family went to church every Sunday, yet people always looked at him and his equally black-clad friend, Evangeline Lark, like they were demon possessed. Not that anyone dared to say anything to Tyler’s face, given his cop father. Though after Columbine a few months ago, pressure did make him trim his hair and switch to normal blue jeans. Jace himself thought little of it.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 38%. (I'm a bot)

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that he is shocked by the reaction of the UN and the Red Cross to the blowing up of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant by the Russian occupiers.
Zelenskyy stressed that despite the tragedy that occurred many hours ago, neither the UN nor the Red Cross "Are there", although they "Should be the first to save lives", as this is what these structures were created for.
Quote: "What is happening right now is a tragedy. An environmental disaster and human tragedyPeople and animals have died. People stuck on the roofs of their houses can see those who have drowned flowing past them. It can be seen on the other side. It is extremely hard to evacuate people from the occupied part of Kherson Oblast. When our people try to save them, the occupiers launch attacks," Zelesnkyy added.
Details: Zelenskyy added that the consequences of the catastrophe will only be seen in a few days when the water recedes a little.
The president believes that the Russian occupiers are afraid that the Armed Forces for Ukraine will start the counteroffensive on this front and try to make the liberation of the Ukrainian territories more difficult.
The blowing up of the dam at the Kakhovka HPP has caused problems with the water supply in the cities of Kryvyi Rih, Marhanets and Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Me and some of friends were discussing about ramayan today, one of my friends brought up the same topic related to vikas divyakriti controversy to which i didn't have any answer, my friend claims that he has read the authentic valmiki ramayan and he literally showed me the pics of shlokas where those lines have been written, he started saying things like that we should stop worshipping lord Ram, he's not a god, he's selfish, egoistic etc and i didn't like that, some of those shlokas/lines were :

1. He killed a lower cast shudra while meditating for no reason
2. He defeated ravan for the sake of his kul and not for saving Mata Sita
3. He compared Mata Sita to ghee licked by a dog and called her impure

I'm getting to know about these things for the first time, can anyone please state some facts to disprove all this coz I'm definitely not liking it, i can't even digest this at the first place, or can someone please provide some reliable sources about the same?

When you pick the best hair bundle brands and companies, it takes time to make the final decision. Based on the four following factors, we succeeded in finding the best Amazon hair companies.
Reliability: Their feedback, including comments and real images, is a rich source for us to assess which hair extensions are high-quality and whether the brands are prestigious or not.
Material: There are two main types of hair extensions, including human hair and synthetic hair. I often prioritize the first option because it easily creates a great experience for users. With a human hair wig, the hairline also appears more natural, and the hair movement is quite lifelike.
Quality: The needed information can be found on the sellers’ websites and pages on social networks. Besides, we also do some research on the Internet and their customers through reviewing parts.
Customer service: If a brand is reliable, its services will be amazing, from the consulting process, the delivery to aiding in exchange when the products have problems.
" Are you tired of sifting through endless pages on Amazon in search of the perfect hair bundles? Well, look no further because we have done the hard work for you!

Hey all,
So like many of you I have given lemmy a go because they are taking away my preferred way of browsing reddit. Unfortunately the small amount of time ive used lemmy (and considering running my own server) ive come to the conclusion that as a social network I don't think it will scale. Plus there are a bunch of usability issues with it for new / non tech users.
So what I am proposing is an open source codebase, hosted centrally and and a business model (because if we don't have a way of generating revenue it will implode) of having a few ads in the feed and the ability to pay to remove them. To start with though it would be patreon.
Ideally there would be a number of passionate maintainers that will vet the code and anyone who wants to can submit a pull request.
I've cobbled together a first draft that seems to be working - you can check it out now:
https://www.quokki.me
Its similar to reddit, but using quokkas as the theme and they have baby joeys so thats what subs are called. As its all open source that can be changed anyway.
Yes it will be buggy - if you want to make a pull request submit one!
Anyway, it is what you make it, in the end the value is in the community so if nobody wants it no problem, it was a fun little project I smashed out in two days.
PS. scaling and infrastructure wise its currently running on an autoscaling instance of google cloud run, the database will be a bit limited but can be upgraded quickly if it gets a hug of death. Provided it gets some traction I would propose to have an image host included as part of the income derived from the donations / fees.
In any case, nothing is set in stone and I would love your feedback

Been evaluating DMARC recently, and I couldn't find much information to help guide me when comparing options. So I tried to write down my thoughts in a way I would have found useful. I hope someone on here gets a bit of value out of it.
A few observations is that there is a huge disparity between bottom range vendors and top range vendors in terms of price, and that there is a corresponding disparity in terms of tool functionality and Trust-center maturity. Top tier vendors offer some cool functions, but the increase in price was hardly worth it.
Common DMARC vendor problems
Common problems among nearly all DMARC vendors we spoke to (with 1 exception) was that they all had a hard time giving us a fixed quote, claiming that they needed to run a PoC/Trial to analyze our volumes before being able to quote us. A few would provide gross estimates for us. I got a bit grossed out, because it felt like the sales reps we met with were trying to gauge how much money they'd be leaving on the table.
Bottom Tier DMARC vendor problems
The bottom tier were sketchy in terms of where support is located, where data is processed (issue especially if we collect Forensic reports) and had a difficult time answering questions on the robustness and maturity of their organizational/technical controls for whatever certifications they held. They also provided low-usability UI:s and underwhelming project management features.
One of the vendors even suggested we spin up 2 instances of their platform to manage active/inactive domains separately. I assume sales person was either a) incompetent or b) thought we had just jumped off the bus from Jokkmokk or c) the tool was horrendous.
Another consideration was that these vendors were mostly in start-up mode, and really pushed their logo-slides, indicating to me that they are desperately accumulating corporate value to become attractive acquisition targets. God forbid they'd be purchased by like DarkTrace or something.
I did a bit of quick and dirty math, and couldn't see how they were running sustainable business models. When they described their headcounts and I looked at the revenue generated with an average across their entire "we have this many customers" slide. Especially since a few of the logos these guys said were 'customers' are actually using their freemium/trial to monitor (checked with contacts at company's who were part of the logo-slides.).
These vendors cost next to nothing, but introduce a level of risk I was not happy with.
Top Tier DMARC Vendor problems
3 of the vendors we looked at fit into this category, and the prices were absolutely outrageous. As in +30x higher prices. Than the other vendors. 2 of these were more forthcoming about price estimates, and the last one did the thing where the sales rep was really shady about the pricing so we finally had enough (I found their price list through google dorks and nearly puked).
However, the 2 vendors who were more forthcoming about their prices advised us that there is a mandatory Managed Service tacked onto the DMARC tool. The managed service sounded nice (bi-weekly/monthly project calls with a consultant from their side, effectively brining our time investment down by from ~6-8h / week to ~1-4h / week, which is helpful due to backlog). But we would be unable to unsubscribe from the managed service even after achieving p=reject and just monitoring.
The vendor who's prices nearly made me puke literally had 1 unique selling point compared to peers. The ability to generate DKIM keys through their console. Helpful, sure. But it absolutely does not merit a 2x higher price than the other 2 Top Tiers. The issue I have here is that this was the vendor pushed by Microsoft, and it really got under my skin that the sales rep almost took it for granted that the business was theirs because of the recommendation by MSFT. It made me wonder how many deals these guys get for outrageous price points by buyers who don't know any better.
These vendors cost a bunch, but offer the level of risk I am OK with introducing
What did we end up doing?
One of the vendors who didn't fit into either Top Tier or Low Tier fulfilled our criteria;

1. Mature trust-center backed by good contracts, DPA:s ISO-certs and SOC-II etc. Sales rep and Engineer could speak towards various elements and were happy to make introductions to their CISO:s direct reports for more information.
2. Price point was in-between Top tier & Bottom Tier.
3. Price transparency and Predictability (They could provide prices based on # active domains + number of employees, irrespective of email volumes & sending services)
4. Managed service portion could be removed upon renewal (once every 12 months) and the price effectively goes down by 50%.
5. The sales rep was slightly less sleazy, but maybe that was because their licensing model was simpler? He was also transparent when we asked about recent negative feedback about their support.
6. UI is decent & Integrated project management section so that tasks created in other sections of the console are populated into the project management time-line and assigned to an owner.

Notes;

1. I don't want to break any policy here. So won't post a link to the price-list I found via dorks. I found it on a publicly facing governmental digital market place, published by one of the vendor's partners. Example:
   1. 3-10 Domains + <5 Sending Services scales from £17.5K / year up to 3-10 Domains + <27 Sending services for £100K / Year. And god help you if you have +50 domains.
2. Don't want to mention which vendor we went with in the end. But we got 25 Domains + Unlimited volume + unlimited sending services for ~ €12K / year.
   1. As a comparison this is 10x the price of the Low-tier vendors, and 35% of the price of the most expensive vendor (when accounting for our number of sending sources, email volume and domains)
   2. Year 1 we added on Manage Services to help with our backlog, which we plan on cutting away once p=reject can be safely activated (expected time frame ~6 months -- Which realistically means ~8 months). At this point our annual bill goes down from €18K to €12K / Year.
3. A key consideration that I found tricky before finding the vendor we went with, was trying to forecast expected email volumes since the company is planning on entering new markets, with big marketing pushes. We could have woken up one day and gotten a "true-up" call with up-to a 6x license price increase if our outbound volumes exceeded 2.5million emails. (I don't see that happening anytime soon, but I'd hate to forget about this as the company grows).
4. Getting approval for the spend was done together with marketing, and we split it 50/50. We basically asked our CMO-lite what would happen if their marketing emails went to junk-folders or were rejected outright because one of their marketing services was unaccounted for.
   1. Convo went something like:
      1. "What's your worst-case projection for this initiative?"
      2. "It's x% of target"
      3. "Okey, does that worst-case projection account for if your email marketing ends up in junk folders?"
      4. "Ye... erhh.. end up in junk folders...?"
      5. (Marketing now has a vested interest in being open about the crap they use/want to get, and CMO-lite has raised this twice with her team so far).

Sorry for any spelling/grammar issues, guys. English =/= first language. Some of the information here could be inconsistent between territories/markets. Hope someone finds it helpful.

I just know they want to blame us for everything right now and to apologize for the destruction and air pollution. Never mind that they're the second biggest source of pollution in the world (China is first).
