PROOF System Flow
Phase 0 · Playbook Builder
Define the standard once. Run it everywhere.
Configure your qualification criteria, stage gates, inspection prompts, coaching logic, and commit rules inside PROOF.
Qualification
MEDDIC, MEDDPICC, or custom criteria configured as operational checkpoints
🔒
Stage Gates
Evidence requirements per stage — progression blocked or flagged when gaps exist
🔍
Inspection & Coaching
Review prompts, coaching cues, and manager inspection logic tied to deal evidence
📊
Commit Rules
Define what a commit-ready deal looks like before it shapes the forecast
Phase 1 · Evidence Sources
PROOF connects where evidence already lives.
No new tools for reps. Start CRM-first, then layer in email, calendar, and voice when ready.
💾
CRM
Salesforce or HubSpot — opportunities, contacts, activities, stage history, field changes
📧
Email & Calendar
Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 — metadata only (sender, timestamps, meeting participants)
🎙️
Voice-to-CRM
Rep-dictated deal updates mapped to CRM fields. Audio processed and discarded.
💬
Slack & Teams
Push deal alerts and review prompts to existing channels. Outbound only.
Syncing CRM records · email metadata · calendar signals · voice updates
Phase 2 · Evidence Engine
Every deal checked against your configured playbook — automatically.
PROOF doesn't guess. It verifies whether evidence exists for each stage criteria — then flags what's missing.
01

Evidence Mapping

Maps signals to your stage criteria. MEDDIC, MEDDPICC, or custom — your framework, enforced.

6 criteria × ~1,000 deals = ~6,000 checks
02

Gap Detection

Diagnostic codes pinpoint failure patterns — not generic "risk scores".

142 gaps found across pipeline
03

Attention Routing

Routes only exceptions to humans — with the reason attached. Everyone else: carry on.

68 deals need review · 779 verified clean
Processing complete · 68 exceptions routed · 779 deals passed evidence gate
Phase 3 · Delivered to Every Role
The right evidence, to the right person, at the right time.
Each role gets exactly what they need — no dashboards to dig through, no reports to build.
🎯
Rep
  • Missing evidence per deal
  • What's required before next review
  • Next steps mapped to CRM fields
"I know what's needed — no surprise questions in reviews."
📋
Sales Leader
  • Exception queue (only deals that need attention)
  • Evidence-cited Deal Review Pack
  • Coaching captured once, applied everywhere
"I review 12 deals instead of 60 — and they're the right 12."
📊
CRO / VP Sales
  • Evidence coverage by stage & quarter
  • Slippage patterns by team
  • Defensible pipeline number for board
"I can tell the board which pipeline is evidence-backed."
⚙️
RevOps
  • Evidence standards by stage
  • Compliance without audits
  • Full field-change audit trail
"Standards enforced at scale — without chasing reps."

Nothing changes without permission. Everything is logged.
PROOF suggests CRM updates based on evidence. Humans confirm. The audit trail writes itself.
