lost-deal-postmortem

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating postmortems for closed-lost deals is time-consuming, inconsistent, and prone to hindsight bias, leading to inaccurate loss category data that skews quarterly business reviews and sales coaching efforts.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Evidence-based loss classification: Maps loss reasons to a customizable taxonomy with cited timeline events to avoid fabricated or biased category assignments.
• Chronological timeline reconstruction: Builds a dated timeline of all deal interactions from Gong transcripts and CRM activity to anchor analysis in actual signals rather than retrospective guesswork.
• Conflict-aware source reconciliation: Flags discrepancies between AE notes and call transcripts instead of silently picking one source, ensuring transparency for RevOps and sales leaders.
• Use Case: A RevOps team can run this skill in batch over last quarter's closed-lost opportunities to generate an accurate loss category distribution for their QBR deck, while individual AEs can use it to create structured postmortems after a lost deal for pipeline review discussions.

Quick Start

Use the lost-deal-postmortem skill to analyze your latest closed-lost opportunity by providing its Gong call transcripts and Salesforce closed-lost notes to get a structured, paste-ready postmortem for your CRM and shared loss log.
