## Execution lanes
| Rank | Stage | Objective | Owner | Due window | KPI | Route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Speed-to-proposal touch | Close first-follow-up delays so high-intent demos enter proposal flow while urgency is still high. | Sales Lead | Week 1 | Median first follow-up trends toward 4.0 hours | AI Lead Follow-Up Sequence Generator (/ai-lead-follow-up-sequence-generator) |
| 2 | Proposal narrative and proof | Standardize proof-backed proposal framing so objections are resolved before procurement review. | Growth Lead | Week 1-2 | Proposal acceptance quality improves with reusable proof assets | AI Customer Proof Forecast OS (/ai-customer-proof-pack-generator) |
| 3 | Pricing confidence and package clarity | Reduce discount drift and package confusion before proposals reach final-stage review. | RevOps Lead | Week 2 | Proposal-to-win quality improves without margin leakage | AI Pricing and Packaging Experiment Planner (/ai-pricing-packaging-experiment-planner) |
| 4 | Executive buying committee alignment | Prepare a clear value and risk narrative for procurement, finance, and business approvers. | Sales Lead | Week 2-3 | Late-stage stalls reduce and close-cycle days decline | AI Business Case Memo Generator (/ai-business-case-memo-generator) |
| 5 | Late-stage leakage control | Track stage exits and stalled proposals to prevent hidden leakage before quarter close. | RevOps Lead | Week 3 | Stage regression and stale proposal count move down month-over-month | AI Pipeline Leakage Audit Generator (/ai-pipeline-leakage-audit-generator) |
| 6 | Lifecycle governance | Keep conversion gains stable by reviewing cross-stage handoff quality and ownership cadence. | Growth Lead | Week 4 | Capacity coverage ratio holds near 1.00 (current 0.99) | AI Revenue Lifecycle Hub (/ai-revenue-lifecycle-hub) |

## 90-day checkpoint scorecard

## Operating rules
1. Start with one owner for speed-to-proposal and one owner for pricing confidence.
2. Keep proposal narrative and stakeholder alignment lanes active each week until close-cycle trend improves.
3. Review stage leakage weekly and route unresolved friction into the linked workflow.
4. Promote spend only after Week 4 and Week 8 checkpoints hold above target trend.
