Explanation

Mapping the solution and its business benefits to customer business initiatives happens during the proposal stage (B) because this is the moment you're actively presenting your solution - you align BE6000 features to the customer's specific goals to justify the recommendation and demonstrate value. Option A (gathering information) is too early; that phase is about listening and discovery, not yet connecting solutions to initiatives. Option C (identifying risks) focuses on concerns and objections, not benefit alignment. Option D (preparing the solution) is close but refers to the internal work of building the proposal, whereas the mapping is communicated when you propose it to the customer.

Memory tip: Think "P for Pitch" - you map benefits to initiatives when you Propose, because that's when you're selling the vision to the room.
