# Deal Triage
## Trigger
deal status, pipeline review, stale deals, "what needs attention"
## Methodology
### 1. Pipeline Snapshot
Pull all open opportunities from Salesforce. Group by stage.
Calculate total pipeline value and stage distribution.
### 2. Flag Stale Deals
Identify deals with no activity in 7+ days. Rank by value
and days stale. These are revenue at risk.
### 3. Check Decision Makers
For deals in Negotiation or Proposal stage, verify a decision
maker contact exists. Missing contact = deal risk.
### 4. Rank and Recommend
Sort by close date. Surface top actions: follow-ups needed,
deals closing this week, blocked deals.
15 lines of markdown. That's the entire sales methodology.

This is the same agent architecture that handles 8-system threat investigations. The complexity scales with the skill, not the infrastructure.
