## Critical Stalled Deals

### Deal: [Company Name] - $[Amount]

**Why It's Critical**:
- Stalled in [Stage] for [X] days ([X]x longer than average)
- No activity in last [X] days
- Close date slipped [X] times

**Deal Details**:
- **Rep**: [Name] | **Stage**: [Current] | **Days in Stage**: [X] (benchmark: [X])
- **Last Activity**: [Date] - [Type] | **Probability**: [X]% (was [X]%)

**Root Cause**: [What's really causing the stall]

**Recommended Actions**:
1. **Immediate** (Today): [Specific action + why + expected outcome]
2. **This Week**: [Action + who should be involved]
3. **Backstop**: [If 1 & 2 fail — last-ditch or disqualification]

**Re-engagement Email**:
Subject: [Company] - Quick check-in

Hi [Name], I haven't heard back since our [last interaction] on [date].
Two questions:
1. Is [project] still a priority for Q[X]?
2. If so, what's changed since we last spoke?
If timing isn't right, just let me know. [Your Name]

**Forecast**: Move from [X]% to [X]% probability. Flag as "At Risk."

[Repeat for each critical deal]

## At-Risk Deals Summary

| Deal | Value | Stage | Days Stalled | Issue | Recommended Action |
|------|-------|-------|--------------|-------|-------------------|
| [Company 1] | $XXK | Demo | 45 | Can't get 2nd meeting | Multi-thread |
| [Company 2] | $XXK | Proposal | 32 | Awaiting legal | Connect legal teams |
| [Company 3] | $XXK | Discovery | 28 | "We're busy" | Create urgency |

**Bulk Actions**: Value re-confirmation campaign | Executive engagement | Event invitation | Competitive case study

---

## Stage Deep Dive

For each stage, analyze:
- **Health status** and metrics vs. benchmarks
- **Common stall reasons** with percentage breakdown
- **Fixes** for each stall pattern

**Key Stall Patterns**:
- **Discovery (>14 days)**: Reps not qualifying hard enough. Fix: MEDDIC scorecard required.
- **Demo (stuck)**: Wrong people in demo / generic demo / no next steps booked. Fix: Require economic buyer or 2-tier demo. Never end without next meeting.
- **Proposal (dark)**: Sent too early / too generic / no champion. Fix: Proposal readiness checklist + re-engagement sequence.

## Forecast

| Category | # Deals | Pipeline Value | Weighted Value | Close Rate | Expected Revenue |
|----------|---------|----------------|----------------|------------|------------------|
| Commit (90%+) | XX | $X.XM | $X.XM | XX% | $X.XM |
| Best Case (70-89%) | XX | $X.XM | $X.XM | XX% | $X.XM |
| Pipeline (50-69%) | XX | $X.XM | $X.XM | XX% | $X.XM |
| Upside (<50%) | XX | $X.XM | $X.XM | XX% | $X.XM |
| **Total** | **XXX** | **$X.XM** | **$X.XM** | **XX%** | **$X.XM** |

**Quota**: $[X]M | **Gap**: $[X]M ([X]%) | **Deals Needed**: [X] at avg $[X]K

### Probability Calibration

| Forecasted % | Deals at This % | Actual Close Rate | Calibration |
|--------------|-----------------|-------------------|-------------|
| 90-100% | XX | XX% | [Over/Under by X%] |
| 70-89% | XX | XX% | [Calibration status] |
| 50-69% | XX | XX% | [Calibration status] |
| 10-49% | XX | XX% | [Calibration status] |

### AI-Adjusted Probabilities

**Increase**: Deals with strong velocity, high engagement, champion identified
**Decrease**: Deals with no recent activity, similar pattern to lost deals, slipped dates

| Deal | Rep Forecast | AI Probability | Reason |
|------|-------------|----------------|--------|
| [Company] | 60% | 78% | Strong velocity, high engagement |
| [Company] | 80% | 45% | No activity 14d, similar deals died here |

**Impact**: Original $[X]M → AI-Adjusted $[X]M (delta: $[X]M)

## Scenario Planning

| Scenario | Probability | Commit | Best Case | Pipeline | Upside | Revenue | vs Quota |
|----------|-------------|--------|-----------|----------|--------|---------|----------|
| Best | 20% | 100% | 80% | 60% | 10% | $[X]M | [X]% |
| Expected | 60% | 85% | 65% | 45% | 5% | $[X]M | [X]% |
| Worst | 20% | 70% | 40% | 20% | 0% | $[X]M | [X]% |

**Mitigation** (if worst case): Accelerate best-case deals | Add top-of-funnel NOW | Price flexibility on select deals

---

## Strategic Recommendations

### Immediate (This Week)
1. **Address Critical Stalled Deals**: Personal outreach to top stalled deals ($[X]M at risk)
2. **Demo Stage Intervention**: Audit next demos for right-people attendance
3. **Forecast Recalibration**: Review AI probability adjustments with reps

### Short-term (This Month)
4. **Stage Duration Alerts**: Auto-alert when deals exceed benchmark time
5. **Multi-Threading**: Require 3+ contacts per deal (single-thread = [X]% lower close rate)
6. **Competitor Win/Loss Analysis**: Interview lost prospects

### Long-term (This Quarter)
7. **Optimize Deal Stages**: Clearer exit criteria per stage
8. **Predictive Deal Scoring**: ML model on historical win/loss data
9. **Sales Process Consistency**: Document top-performer best practices

## Pipeline Health Report Card

| Metric | Current | Target | Status | Trend |
|--------|---------|--------|--------|-------|
| Overall Pipeline Value | $X.XM | $X.XM | [status] | [trend] |
| Weighted Pipeline | $X.XM | $X.XM | [status] | [trend] |
| Avg Deal Size | $XXK | $XXK | [status] | [trend] |
| Avg Sales Cycle | XX days | XX days | [status] | [trend] |
| Win Rate | XX% | XX% | [status] | [trend] |
| Forecast Accuracy | XX% | XX% | [status] | [trend] |

**Overall Grade**: [A/B/C/D/F]

**Next Review**: [Date, 1 week]. Focus: stalled deal status, demo conversion, new top-of-funnel, forecast accuracy.

Best Practices

  1. Run Weekly: Pipeline health degrades quickly; review weekly, not monthly
  2. Be Honest: Identify bad deals early; disqualifying is healthy
  3. Use Data: Don't rely on rep's gut; look at activity metrics
  4. Take Action: Analysis is worthless without concrete next steps
  5. Track Trends: One snapshot is useful; trends over time are powerful
  6. Coach, Don't Criticize: Use insights to help reps improve, not punish

Common Use Cases

Trigger Phrases:

  • "Why do my deals get stuck in demo stage?"
  • "Analyze my Q3 pipeline health"
  • "Which deals should I focus on this week?"
  • "Predict which deals will close this quarter"

Response Approach:

  1. Request pipeline export (CSV with all deal data)
  2. Analyze stage distribution and velocity
  3. Identify stalled deals and patterns
  4. Calculate risk-adjusted forecast
  5. Provide specific next actions for top deals
  6. Recommend process improvements

Remember: A healthy pipeline is constantly flowing. Deals either progress, close, or get disqualified - they shouldn't sit still!

Emit Outcome Sidecar

As the final step, write to ~/.claude/skill-analytics/last-outcome-pipeline-health-analyzer.json:

json
{"ts":"[UTC ISO8601]","skill":"pipeline-health-analyzer","version":"1.0.0","variant":"default",
 "status":"[success|partial|error]","runtime_ms":[estimated ms from start],
 "metrics":{"deals_analyzed":[n],"stalled_deals":[n],"at_risk_deals":[n],"forecast_accuracy_pct":[n],"actions_recommended":[n]},
 "error":null,"session_id":"[YYYY-MM-DD]"}

Use status "partial" if some stages failed but results were produced. Use "error" only if no output was generated.
