Operational Workflow

Lead → Retention Flow

End-to-end operational stages with current volume, health and what each step is measuring. Health is computed against targets by the same rules engine that powers the dashboard recommendations.

Stage 1

Lead

4,820

What we measure

Marketing-qualified leads

Top of funnel volume generated by campaigns, SEO and referrals. Measures how much demand is entering the system each month.

Stage 2

Qualification

2,106

What we measure

SDR-qualified opportunities

Leads that pass BANT (budget, authority, need, timeline). Shows how well marketing demand matches an ideal customer profile.

Stage 3

Proposal

744

What we measure

Active proposals in flight

Deals in commercial negotiation. Bottlenecks here usually mean pricing, legal or scope friction — not product fit.

Stage 4

Closed-Won

183

What we measure

New clients acquired this month

The monthly list of new logos. This is the number that ultimately funds growth and compounds month over month.

Stage 5

Onboarding

What we measure

Time-to-value & CSM capacity

How quickly a new client reaches first value. Under growth scenarios, CSM capacity is the first thing to strain.

Stage 6

Retention

94.1%

What we measure

Net revenue retention

Rolling 90-day retention across the account base. 6 accounts currently flagged as at-risk.

What this shows

How I think about operations — every business reduces to a funnel with measurable health gates, whether it is SaaS, consulting or hospitality.

Why it matters

Directors and VPs are paid to spot where the funnel leaks and align the right owner to act. Metrics alone are insufficient without accountability.

How it works

A pure-TypeScript rules engine scores each stage against targets and surfaces recommendations with estimated impact, effort and owner.
