## When to activate

Weekly or monthly, or on-demand to investigate cycle-time delays. Requires deal history with stage change timestamps.

## When NOT to use

Not for individual deal coaching (use deal-risk-analyzer). Not for forecast accuracy (use forecast-builder). Not for rep performance (use quota-tracker).

## Cycle-Time Analysis Framework

**Average time-in-stage** = (Today - last stage entry date) for all deals in stage, averaged.

**Benchmarking:**
- Enterprise: Negotiation 45+ days expected; Proposal 30–45 days.
- Mid-Market: Negotiation 20–30 days; Proposal 15–25 days.
- Commercial: Negotiation 10–15 days; Proposal 5–10 days.

**Bottleneck identification:**
- Any stage where average time >30% above benchmark = bottleneck.
- Analyze: missing stakeholder approval, technical evaluation, legal review, budget confirmation.
