DECÁLAGO DEL PRESCRIPTOR
El prescriptor debe tener en cuenta una serie de cuestiones antes de determinar las caracteristicas de un proyecto. En primer lugar, es precisio que tenga información suficiente sobre variedades de materiales, colores, caracterización de los mismos, utilizaciones recomendadas y las posibilidades que ofrece la actual tecnología. Debe conocer a los suministradores y los plazos de entrega, etc.

The product here is natural stone.

Explanation:
Here are some options for you. The first definition is in catalán, and I don’t think that the English term "gatekeeper" is appropriate, as I did not find this meaning for it.

Líder de Opinión/ Opinion Leader:
Individuo que ejerce una influencia personal sobre otros. No se trata de un líder en sentido estricto, sino de un "experto" sobre un producto o servicio. Se le denomina también "prescriptor" y actúa de intermediario entre los medios de comunicación de masas y los consumidores. (http://www.adlatina.com/html/glosario/glosarioJKL.php3)

How do ideas make the transition from early adopters to the cultural mainstream? The key is opinion leaders. Opinion leaders are people who are living archetypes that embody the norms and values of a social group. (Martha Stewart provides an excellent example; she embodies traditional homemaking skill and values.) If an opinion leader adopts a trend, many members of the same social group are likely to follow. Hence one useful way to judge the potential impact of a trend is to follow the diffusion path; if it is adopted by opinion leaders it will likely be widely adopted; if opinion leaders ignore it, other people probably will, too.

Hope it helps.
