I realize that this statement is untrue.

Some people are dredging up all kinds of "but what if" and "I really, truly don't understand how my collecting data could be considered GDPR-triggering".

I find that dishonest. Protest as much as you want.

Oh, and surprisingly, just by some bizarre happenstance, you are "Currently working on Instinctive, a B2B marketing technology company."

I can tell you immediately that whatever you're doing falls under the GDPR.

Cool, except we weren't confused about that. Figuring out what data exactly and when, along with the proper processes, documentation, and interaction with all of our clients took lots of lawyer time though.

That's funny, you expressed confusion just two post back about whether you are doing falls under GDPR :)

No I didn't, you should read it again. The original thread was about GDPR in general until the other commenter started talking about me and my company personally. We're not confused on whether it applies to us, although there are plenty of specifics that lack guidance.
