Pipeline Hygiene SentinelA CRM that tells you the truth about the quarter.

It reads the pipeline continuously and raises the records that have gone quiet, so a rep hears about a slipping deal while it is still winnable.

What Pipeline Hygiene Sentinel doesFlags every stale or contradictory record the day it slips, with the reason it was raised.

Its named limitIt flags and escalates. It never edits a deal, changes a stage or moves a close date.

The problem

Three ways a pipeline stops being true.

Close dates slip in silence. The date moves, nobody is told, and the forecast keeps counting it as this quarter.

Stages mean different things. One rep's commit is another's best case, so the roll-up adds up numbers that are not comparable.

Hygiene is a Friday chore. It gets done the week before the board meeting, which is the week it is least useful.

What gets built

A daily list of records that need a human decision.

The decision corridor: one lit path clears every gate to a circled check, while unlit gates carry X and question marks

Reads the pipeline continuously, not on a Friday, and not only before a board meeting
Raises the records that have gone quiet, a close date in the past, a stage that has not moved, an owner who left
States why each record was raised, so the rep can disagree with the reason rather than the tool
Routes it to the person who can fix it, with the deal still open and still winnable

It runs on read-only access to your systems of record until you widen it. Every action it takes is logged with the reason behind it.

What changes

Three things look different the week after it ships.
