Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

what → ’ → it
Zoom is building its revenue OS around the customer conversation, connecting what teams learn from talking to buyers to power the same tools they use to prospect, sell, follow up, and forecast. asserted
