Qualification Assessment
Checked boxes are where bad deals hide. This skill judges qualification on evidence: each criterion in your Discovery & Qualification memory comes back proven, assumed or missing, with the proof attached and the next question to ask. Reps stop working deals that were never real, managers stop policing fields, and the forecast counts deals that would survive scrutiny.

Where checkbox and evidence part ways
Full fields make every deal look qualified, right up until the evidence is asked for.

The discovery call ends and the rep marks it qualified
Full fields, unknown quality
The rep fills the MEDDPICC fields from memory of the call. Whether the answers are evidence or optimism depends on the rep.
Boxes filled faster
Extraction fills the fields but cannot judge them, because nothing defines what actually proves a metric or a champion for your deals.
Proven, assumed or missing, per criterion
The rep leaves discovery knowing which criteria are proven, which are assumed and what to ask next. Bad deals surface before work starts.
The rep pushes the deal to proposal stage
Judged by whoever runs the review
The manager reads the fields by experience. One waves it through, another sends it back. Reps learn what each manager wants.
The gate reads the boxes
A filled field passes the stage gate whether or not the evidence behind it holds, because completion is all the check can see.
Stage moves earned on evidence
Deals advance when criteria are proven, on the same standard for every rep. Managers get their reviews back for the real judgement calls.
Forecast week, and the whole pipeline reads qualified
A forecast built on checkboxes
Every deal shows full fields, so every deal counts. The gap between looks-qualified and is-qualified surfaces as slipped deals in week 13.
A tidy view of the same guesswork
Summarising the fields cannot say which qualified deals would survive scrutiny, because the fields were never evidence to begin with.
The forecast counts proven deals
Leadership sees which deals rest on proof and which on assumption, confidence shown, and the surprise slips thin out quarter by quarter.

The GTM teams that learn fastest will win. Build yours a system that learns.
An advantage competitors cannot buy back: years of success and failure, codified.
By testing each criterion against evidence from the deal itself: calls, emails, who engaged, what was said about money and process. Each criterion in your Discovery & Qualification memory comes back proven, assumed or missing, with confidence, so qualification means the same thing on every deal.
Because extraction fills fields without judging them. A named economic buyer the rep has never met still fills the box. Assessment asks the harder question: does the evidence prove this criterion for this deal, by your standard? That difference is where false-positive deals hide.
Proven means evidence from the deal supports the criterion. Assumed means someone asserted it and nothing confirms it yet. Missing means it has not been addressed at all. Each gap comes with what would close it, so the rep always has the next question to ask.
RevOps owns it, in the Discovery & Qualification memory; Sales leadership owns the Sales Process and Sales Methodology it works inside. Change the standard once and every deal is judged the new way the same day, and win-loss outcomes show whether the criteria still predict wins.
The Qualification capability, plus Discovery Analysis and Deal Risk. The point of sharing one judgement: the deal a rep calls qualified, the gaps discovery work targets and the risks flagged on that same deal all trace back to one assessment, so the numbers agree.
