Deal health

Every open deal gets a health score out of 100, computed live from four signals: whether it has a next action, whether that action is overdue, how recently anything happened, and whether the expected close date has passed.

Updated 2026-07-06

Deal health answers one question at a glance: is this deal moving, or is it drifting? The score starts at 100 and loses points for each warning sign. It is a simple, fixed set of rules — not a prediction model — so you can always see exactly why a deal scored what it did, and exactly what would fix it.

The signals

SignalWhen it firesEffect on the score
No next stepThe deal has no open next action.-35
Next action overdueThe open action's due date has passed.-25 on the first day, growing daily to -40 by day four
Gone quietNo activity on the deal for 7 days, or for 14 or more.-20 after a week, -30 after two
Close date passedThe deal's expected close date is behind you.-10

The result maps to a color: green at 70 and above, amber from 40 to 69, red below 40. A deal that was touched this week and has a next action scheduled scores a clean 100.

Where it shows

Health lives on the deal page, in the rail: a colored bar, the score, and the reasons in plain words — for example "No next step set · quiet for 2+ weeks." When nothing is wrong it says so: "Active this week with a next step. Momentum is good." The AI assistant reads the same score when you ask it about a deal.

The score is recomputed every time you look at it, never stored. Fix the cause — set a next action, log the call you made — and the score recovers immediately.

What to do about a low score

Each signal maps to one move. No next step: set one. Overdue: do it or reschedule it. Quiet: make contact and log it. Close date passed: update the date to something honest. Because the biggest penalties are about the next action, keeping the follow-up loop running is also what keeps deals green.
