Weekly pipeline review

Each week an analyst compiles the pipeline's movement — stage transitions, new and lost deals, the forecast delta, at-risk deals, and three focus deals — into a brief a reviewer re-checks against the raw numbers, then lands one approval where you sign off the brief before it goes to the team.

What it installs

Agents 2

  • Pipeline Analyst

    Owns the weekly pipeline brief: stage movement, new and lost deals, the forecast delta, at-risk flags, and the three focus deals.

  • Pipeline Reviewer

    Independently recomputes the brief's numbers and verifies its at-risk reasons and focus rationales before the human sign-off.

Teams 1

  • Pipeline Review Team

    An analyst who compiles the weekly brief, and a reviewer who re-checks it against the raw numbers.

    A verified weekly brief covering movement, forecast delta, risks, and focus deals, published on schedule.

Skills 3

  • pipeline-movement-analysis

    Compile a week's pipeline movement and forecast: stage transitions with direction, new and lost deals with reasons, a stage-weighted forecast with best/likely/worst scenarios, Commit vs Upside, gap-to-quota with coverage, and a delta decomposed into the deals that caused it. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/forecast.

  • focus-deal-selection

    Flag stale, stuck, overdue, and single-threaded deals with evidence, score pipeline health with a hygiene audit and shape check, propose deals to remove, and rank the week's top three focus deals with a why-now and one concrete next action each. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/pipeline-review.

  • brief-verification

    Re-check a pipeline brief against the raw CRM numbers: re-count the movement, re-compute the forecast delta and its decomposition, and verify every at-risk reason and focus rationale before sign-off.

Requirements

What this playbook expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.

  • Browser access to your CRM — The agents work in your CRM through its web interface in your browser to read deals, stages, and activity for the weekly brief, and never change a record. Until you connect it, they work from attached exports (deal CSVs from this week and last) and the relevant document.
