Deal Scorecard
Score deal health across fit, budget, timeline, and authority with composite risk assessment
What You Can Do
You can systematically assess any sales opportunity across four critical dimensions—fit, budget, timeline, and authority—to determine deal viability and prioritize your pipeline. The skill generates a composite health score (0-100), surfaces risk flags, identifies gaps, and produces a prioritized action plan so you can focus on high-probability opportunities and know exactly what to do next.
