AI PQL Scoring Workflow Generator

Turn product-usage intent into one owner-ready PQL forecast workflow with score thresholds, sales-acceptance controls, time-to-value targets, dual-capacity coverage checks, and ARR-linked conversion checkpoints.

Run one owner-assigned PQL forecast operating system so activation intent, sales-accepted handoff quality, time-to-value velocity, and capacity coverage stay tied to monetization outcomes.

## Weekly operating ritual
1. Review activation, ICP fit, false-positive rate, sales acceptance, and handoff SLA in one board.
2. Escalate one blocked fit-quality threshold or handoff path with a due date and owner.
3. Rebalance growth-pod and sales follow-up capacity when either coverage ratio falls below 1.00.
4. Publish one weekly summary with accepted SQL movement, ARR run-rate lift, and time-to-value trend.
