deal-qualification
Skill13 starsChanged 23 days agoMITView on GitHub
Use this skill when you need to qualify a B2B deal or check its health: \"qualify this opportunity\", \"MEDDICC this deal\", \"is this deal real\", \"score my opportunity\". Scores the deal on metrics, economic buyer, decision criteria, decision process, paper process, pain, champion and competition, separates what is confirmed from what is assumed, names the biggest gaps, and gives the questions and actions that close them before the forecast call.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈6
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 16
Use this whenever a deal enters a forecast or moves stage.
- Distinctive: line 20
Call notes, emails and the deal record.
- Distinctive: line 44
Commit-stage deals usually need 2+ on every element and 3 on pain, champion and economic buyer.
- Distinctive: line 73
MUST cap any element without evidence at 1.
- Distinctive: line 74
MUST name one biggest gap with an owner and date.
- Distinctive: line 75
NEVER recommend "commit" for a deal without an engaged economic buyer.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Use this whenever a deal enters a forecast or moves stage. It produces a scorecard that separates evidence from hope.
Inputs
- Call notes, emails and the deal record.
- Stage, amount and expected close date.
- Who the rep has met and what each said.
The play
1. Score each element 0-3
| Element | Question | 3 means |
| Metrics | What measurable gain does the buyer expect? | Number agreed with the buyer |
| Economic buyer | Who signs and controls the budget? | Met them; they confirmed the priority |
| Decision criteria | What will they judge options on? | Written or stated criteria we influenced |
| Decision process | What steps lead to a decision? | Steps, people and dates mapped with the champion |
| Paper process | What happens from "yes" to signature? | Legal, security, procurement steps and timing known |
| Identify pain | What problem, how bad, why now? | Pain with impact in their words and a reason for now |
| Champion | Who sells for us internally, with power? | Tested: they took an action that cost them effort |
| Competition | What else are they considering, including doing nothing? | Named alternatives and why we win |
0 unknown, 1 assumed, 2 partial evidence, 3 confirmed. Read references/meddicc-scorecard.md for scoring evidence examples and stage minimums.
2. Mark evidence
For each score, note the evidence and the source (call date, email). Anything without evidence is scored 1 at most.
3. Check stage minimums
Commit-stage deals usually need 2+ on every element and 3 on pain, champion and economic buyer. A deal below the minimum for its stage should move back a stage or out of the forecast.
4. Find the biggest gap
The weakest element on the critical path to signature, usually economic buyer, paper process or champion. One gap, one owner, one date.
5. Write the questions
Exact questions to ask next, phrased for the buyer, plus who should ask them.
Output format
Deal: <name> | <amount> | <stage> | close <date>
Scorecard: M x | EB x | DC x | DP x | PP x | IP x | C x | Comp x (total /24)
Confirmed: <evidence list> Assumed: <list>
Stage check: meets / below minimum for <stage>
Biggest gap: <element> - risk - action - owner - date
Next questions: <3-5>
Forecast call: commit / best case / pipeline / removeWhat good looks like
- Scores tie to evidence a manager can check.
- The champion is tested, not just friendly.
- The close date is backed by a paper process timeline.
- The common mistake is scoring from the rep's optimism: "the economic buyer is the CFO" with no meeting is a 1, not a 3.
Rules
- MUST cap any element without evidence at 1.
- MUST name one biggest gap with an owner and date.
- NEVER recommend "commit" for a deal without an engaged economic buyer.
Example prompts
- "MEDDICC this deal from my notes and emails."
- "Score my 6 commit deals and tell me which are really commits."
- "What questions should I ask next week to qualify this opportunity?"

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
