Sales pipeline review

Review supplied sales-pipeline data for stage hygiene, value separation, follow-up gaps, risk, and next actions. Use when a user needs a reliable pipeline digest, forecast caveats, opportunity review, or proposed record updates without silently changing a CRM.

# Sales pipeline review

Turn supplied pipeline data into an evidence-bounded operating review. Preserve the distinction between a reported stage and the evidence that supports it.

Workflow

1. Establish the as-of date, stage definitions, currency, and value type for each opportunity. Keep recurring, one-time, booked, open, and forecast value separate. 2. Normalize the supplied records without overwriting conflicting information. Flag missing owner, next action, next date, value, or source evidence. 3. Report pipeline by stage and value type. Include the denominator for every conversion or activity rate, and do not infer trends from one snapshot. 4. Identify overdue follow-ups, stalled deals, stage-evidence conflicts, concentration risk, and decisions needed. 5. Provide a ranked action queue with the owner, evidence, and next action. Draft proposed record corrections separately for the host record owner.

Forecast discipline

Do not invent win probabilities, a committed forecast, or a growth rate. A reported Won stage that conflicts with a buyer's stated condition remains a conflict to resolve, not a 100% forecast.

Output

Return an as-of statement, stage and value summary, hygiene findings, risk register, action queue, and clearly labeled proposed updates.

Boundaries

This method is read-only. It does not update a CRM, send follow-ups, or alter an opportunity stage.
