Explanation

A buying centre encompasses ALL participants in the purchasing decision, regardless of their formal role or title. This includes users, influencers, technical experts, gatekeepers, deciders, and buyers - anyone who influences or participates in any aspect. It's not limited to formally assigned teams or specific roles like gatekeepers and deciders alone. The center represents the collective decision-making dynamics.
