ALIGNED
Stage and buyer evidence agree. Let the rep run.
Stage 05 of 6 · Stage–Readiness Alignment
Where pipeline stage and buyer behavior have quietly diverged.
PitchGenius compares where the deal sits in your process against what the buyer has demonstrated — and flags the gap while there is still time to close it.
The two views, compared
The stage says commit. The buyer says maybe.
CRM view and buyer view, compared automatically — the divergence surfaces before the forecast call, not after.

DIVERGED
The deal is being carried by activity alone. Inspect before the forecast call.
