  "body": "A portable GTM system keeps the **repeatable process**—strategy, messaging, conversations, and operating rhythm—separate from any one model or vendor.\n\n## What portability protects\n\n- Strategy and messaging remain reusable when tools change.\n\n- Commercial learning compounds across vendors and models.\n\nThat separation lets a Practitioner improve revenue-generating conversations and [Sales Velocity](https://opengtm.co.uk/) without rebuilding the entire system whenever the underlying technology changes."
