What's happening?
Shared customer context can reduce the integration cost of adding a related product. The expansion argument depends on actual workflow overlap; packaging multiple tools together does not guarantee a better fit.
Why it might work
How the mechanism creates value
A customer who already trusts a service may face less friction trying a related one. Shared identity, payment, or delivery infrastructure can reduce repeated setup. The offer still needs to match a real adjacent need rather than compete with the current task.
