Scoring Matrix

Execution Flow

Step 1: Gather Deal Information

crm.get_deal({
  dealId: context.dealId,
  includeHistory: true,
  includeCustomFields: true
})

crm.get_account({
  accountId: deal.accountId,
  includeHierarchy: true
})

Step 2: Get All Contacts

crm.get_contacts({
  dealId: context.dealId,
  includeRoles: true,
  includeEngagement: true
})

Map stakeholder landscape:

• Decision makers
• Influencers
• Champions
• Detractors
• Technical evaluators

Step 3: Review Activities

crm.get_activities({
  dealId: context.dealId,
  limit: 50,
  types: ["call", "meeting", "email", "note"]
})

Extract:

• Meeting frequency and recency
• Stakeholder engagement
• Deal progression signals
• Potential blockers mentioned

Step 4: Analyze Conversations

ai.analyze_conversation({
  dealId: context.dealId,
  transcripts: meetingTranscripts,
  emails: emailThreads,
  extractFields: [
    "pain_points",
    "decision_criteria",
    "timeline",
    "budget_signals",
    "competitive_mentions",
    "objections",
    "next_steps",
    "champion_indicators"
  ]
})

Step 5: Score Deal Against Framework

ai.score_deal({
  dealId: context.dealId,
  framework: context.framework || "MEDDPICC",
  data: {
    deal: dealData,
    account: accountData,
    contacts: contactsWithRoles,
    activities: recentActivities,
    conversationInsights: aiAnalysis
  }
})

Step 6: Compare to Similar Deals

analytics.get_similar_deals({
  criteria: {
    dealSize: deal.amount,
    industry: account.industry,
    segment: account.segment,
    stage: deal.stage
  },
  outcomes: ["won", "lost"],
  limit: 10
})

Identify patterns:

• Win rate for similar deals
• Average sales cycle
• Common winning factors
• Typical losing factors

Step 7: Calculate Win Probability

function calculateWinProbability(frameworkScore, similarDeals, stageData) {
  // Base probability from stage
  let probability = stageData.historicalWinRate;
  
  // Adjust for framework score
  const avgFrameworkScore = 3.0;
  const scoreAdjustment = (frameworkScore - avgFrameworkScore) * 0.10;
  probability += scoreAdjustment;
  
  // Adjust for activity velocity
  if (deal.activityVelocity > benchmark) {
    probability += 0.05;
  } else if (deal.activityVelocity < benchmark * 0.5) {
    probability -= 0.10;
  }
  
  // Adjust for multi-threading
  if (deal.stakeholderCount >= 3) {
    probability += 0.05;
  } else if (deal.stakeholderCount === 1) {
    probability -= 0.15;
  }
  
  // Cap between 5% and 95%
  return Math.max(0.05, Math.min(0.95, probability));
}

Step 8: Generate Risk Assessment

function identifyRisks(deal, analysis) {
  const risks = [];
  
  // Timeline risk
  if (deal.daysToClose < analysis.avgSalesCycle * 0.5) {
    risks.push({
      category: "timeline",
      severity: "high",
      issue: "Close date aggressive vs. average cycle",
      recommendation: "Validate timeline with champion"
    });
  }
  
  // Champion risk
  if (analysis.championScore < 3) {
    risks.push({
      category: "champion",
      severity: "critical",
      issue: "No validated champion identified",
      recommendation: "Focus on building internal advocate"
    });
  }
  
  // Single-threaded risk
  if (deal.stakeholderCount < 2) {
    risks.push({
      category: "multi-threading",
      severity: "high",
      issue: "Single-threaded opportunity",
      recommendation: "Identify and engage additional stakeholders"
    });
  }
  
  // Activity stall
  if (deal.daysSinceActivity > 10) {
    risks.push({
      category: "engagement",
      severity: "medium",
      issue: "No activity in 10+ days",
      recommendation: "Re-engage with value-add touchpoint"
    });
  }
  
  // Economic buyer access
  if (!analysis.economicBuyerEngaged) {
    risks.push({
      category: "access",
      severity: "high",
      issue: "No access to economic buyer",
      recommendation: "Request executive introduction"
    });
  }
  
  return risks;
}

Step 9: Update Deal (if flagged)

crm.update_deal({
  dealId: context.dealId,
  customFields: {
    inspectionScore: totalScore,
    lastInspectionDate: today,
    riskLevel: riskLevel,
    winProbability: winProbability
  }
})

Step 10: Alert on Critical Risks

messaging.send_alert({
  channel: "deal-alerts",
  title: "⚠️ Deal Inspection Alert: ${deal.name}",
  body: "Critical risks identified: ${criticalRisks.join(', ')}",
  priority: "high",
  recipients: [deal.ownerId, deal.ownerManagerId]
})
