The guided flow checks that your org meets the minimum requirements.

If your org meets the minimum requirements, click Looks good,
next.
If the requirements aren’t met, check the feedback.

On the app’s overview page, in the Stories section, confirm that the Einstein Discovery
story is complete by clicking Pricing.
