How the stall gate works
This tool grades your document workflow, stage by stage. Each stage scores 0–100; the pipeline is only as strong as its weakest stage — then a stall gate that can only make it worse. It routes you to the exact fix.
The 6 stages
A single stage at or below 40 stalls the whole pipeline no matter how high the others score. The pipeline is the minimum, not the mean, regardless of the score.
Why: Five stages run 70–90, so the average (73) looks healthy. But Extract scores just 45 — and a pipeline is only as strong as its weakest stage, so the true verdict is MANUAL DRAG. Drop Extract to 40 and the whole pipeline STALLS.
The average hides the bottleneck. The pipeline takes the minimum, the stall gate blocks on any stalled stage, and it routes you to the one product that clears your constraint.
