A pipeline you haven't looked at properly isn't a forecast. It's a hope.

Most founders know their pipeline number. Few can say, deal by deal, which ones are real. The gap between the number and the truth is where quarters go wrong.

signalrev's Inspection work turns a weekly glance into a system that catches a stalled deal before it costs you a quarter, not after.

01 / what you get

what you get

01

A weekly review protocol.

The same questions, same order, every week: what moved, what stalled, what's next, which Close Dates were real and which were hopes.

02

Stage-velocity flags.

Mechanical thresholds, not a judgment call, so a stalled deal gets caught at day 14, not found dead at month three.

03

Deal inspection, where it's in scope.

Six gates that test whether you actually understand the buyer's problem, not just the story you've been telling yourself about the deal.

02 / a sample, not a description

a sample, not a description

Most pipeline reviews are a scroll through HubSpot with no fixed questions. Here's what a founder actually walks away with.

Sample weekly review (illustrative example, not a real client, same fictional company as the other two pages)

A weekly review flags a deal stalled for 16 days, resets an unsupported Close Date and identifies the next action.A weekly review flags a deal stalled for 16 days, resets an unsupported Close Date and identifies the next action.

Company: a mid-market inventory-sync tool for e-commerce operators.

What moved: a 40-store DTC brand re-engaged after a demo, first reply in nine days.

What stalled: a deal sitting 16 days at "evaluating," two days past the flag threshold. No buyer action in that window, only founder follow-ups.

Close Date check: the date on file was a hope, not a date. Reset, with a reason logged.

Next action: stop copying the ops lead who's gone quiet, call the economic buyer directly.

03 / the test

the test

Written down, the review runs the same whether you're in the room or not.

Could someone else run this week's review from the question set alone, and catch the same stalled deal you would have? If not, that's the gap this closes.
