Your pipeline says every dealis fine. One of them is a ghost.
A deterministic, offline grader that scores each open deal on momentum — the way a physicist would read a moving object — and floors the deals that look alive on the board but have quietly stopped moving. It prescribes the one move that changes the read. No forecast, no black box, no probability theater.
“This deal is at risk” is not an instruction.
accuracy of a typical stage-based forecast — it tells you what stage a deal is in, not whether it is moving.
single-threaded contact is the strongest predictor of a deal that dies late, after the forecast already counted it.
probabilities invented. Every read is arithmetic on numbers you entered — nothing modeled, nothing guessed.
Dashboards show you what is happening. They do not tell you what to do about it, and they let a dead deal sit green on the board because it is still “in stage.” This tool reads each deal like a physical system — momentum, friction, decay — and returns a verdict plus the single cheapest move that changes it.
Grade a deal. Watch the gate do its job.
Drag the inputs. Notice that a deal can score in the STALLING band and still read DEAD WEIGHT — because it is single-threaded and has outlived its stage. Add a second stakeholder and it releases. That gate is the whole point.
Next action: Multi-thread now: earn a second buy-side contact this week, OR advance/disqualify at your next stage gate. One-contact deals that have outlived their stage do not close.

One command grades your whole pipeline.
Point the zero-dependency Python engine at a CSV of your open deals. It grades each one, floors the ghosts, and rolls the pipeline up to its worst deal. This is the verbatim output on the shipped seven-deal sample:

PIPELINE ROLLUP: GHOST PIPELINE (worst deal: Beacon Health - Expansion — DEAD WEIGHT)
This tool grades a deal's momentum from your own numbers. It scores no person.Three rules the whole tool obeys.
Momentum, not a moment
Five weighted signals — stakeholder coverage, response latency, stage age vs. your own median, days since the last touch, activity direction — combine into a 0–100 score. The trend is the read, not any single field.
A gate that does distinct work
Single-threaded AND past your stage window floors a deal to DEAD WEIGHT no matter how good the points look. In the sample, a 57 (STALLING) reads DEAD WEIGHT; its twin with a second thread releases. One trigger flips the verdict; clearing it releases.
A move, not a warning
Every deal ends with the single cheapest action that changes its read — multi-thread, force a stage decision, re-engage with a dated step. It tells you what to do, not just that something is wrong.
An honest read, not a prediction.
- A deterministic grader you run on your own deal numbers, offline.
- A verdict per deal, a next action, and a worst-first pipeline rollup.
- A gate that floors ghost deals the forecast would still count.
- Reproducible: engine, workbook, and demo compute identical results.
- Not a forecast and not a close-probability — it models no outcome.
- Not a claim that a specific email at a specific time lifts your odds by X%.
- Not a rep scorecard — it grades a deal's momentum, never a person.
- Not connected to your CRM — it reads a file you export, nothing live.
A sales-judgment triage aid. It grades a deal's momentum from numbers you confirm and names a next action; the decision to act is yours. It scores no individual and makes no employment, performance, or compensation determination.
Anyone accountable for a number.
- Reps who want the next move on a deal, not another risk badge.
- Sales managers running deal reviews who need to spot the ghost before the commit call.
- RevOps tired of dashboards that describe risk but prescribe nothing.
- Founders selling their own pipeline who need a defensible read, fast.

No. It grades a deal's momentum from numbers you enter — stakeholder coverage, response latency, stage age against your own median, days since the last touch, and activity direction. It returns a verdict and a next action, not a close-probability. Any tool claiming to predict a percentage lift from one email at one time is selling you precision it cannot defend. This one shows its arithmetic and prescribes the cheapest move that changes the read.
It is the spine of the tool. A deal that is single-threaded (one buy-side contact) AND has outlived its stage (age past 1.5x your own median for that stage) is floored to DEAD WEIGHT no matter how many points it scored. Both conditions must hold at once, and the gate releases the moment either clears. In the worked sample, a deal scoring 57 — comfortably in the STALLING band — reads DEAD WEIGHT because it is single-threaded and 1.70x past its stage window; its identical twin with a second stakeholder releases to STALLING. One contact and a stalled stage is the anatomy of a deal that will never close.
Your CRM and your own deal history. Stakeholders engaged, response times, stage age, your median days-in-stage, last-touch date, and touch counts are all things you already track. The tool invents nothing and connects to nothing — it is deterministic and offline. Notably, the stage benchmark is your own median, not an industry number, so the read reflects how your deals actually move.
No. It grades a deal's momentum, never a person. A flag points at a deal to work — multi-thread it, force a stage decision, re-engage — not at whoever owns it. There is no leaderboard and no performance ranking anywhere in the tool.
Because days-since-touch and stage age depend on the date you run it. The workbook uses a fixed evaluation-date cell (not TODAY()), the engine takes an --as-of flag, and the demo pins the same constant — so a saved file reproduces the exact same read forever and never drifts between the three. When you re-grade your pipeline, you set a new date and the whole board re-reads against it.
A runnable zero-dependency Python engine that grades a whole pipeline from a CSV, an Excel workbook that reproduces the same scores and verdicts exactly, a Deal Momentum Playbook and a Momentum Recovery Runbook, and a seven-deal worked sample. The engine, the workbook, and the on-page demo all compute identical results — verified cell-by-cell before it shipped.
