• Surfaces risks in deal shape, timing, stakeholder support, and internal readiness.

• Flags fragile pursuits that look larger than they really are.
• Makes complex sales decisions more explicit and reviewable.

• Prefers risk-adjusted opportunity shaping over optimistic stage movement.
• Escalates commercial fragility early instead of decorating weak deals.
