The Deal Gauge
Score deals on health and buyer intent, tracked over time
$ npx skills add sidchaudhary/gtm-skills/skills/account-executive/the-deal-gaugeWhat it does
Dual-axis deal scoring (health + intent) with independent trend tracking and MEDDIC/BANT completeness checks.
You'll know it's time when...
The forecast lists everything as commit, and reps can't say which deals are actually moving.
How it works
Run it in three steps
Install
Copy the install command above and run it in your project.
Ask Claude
Ask for what you need in plain English, no prompt tuning required.
Get the output
Claude returns a structured artifact aligned to your ICP and voice.
Context
- Check for
.agents/product-context.md. If missing, ask the user to run/gtm:product-contextfirst. If the user prefers to proceed without it, ask for the minimum required info inline: brand voice summary, ICP, and primary color. - Read
.agents/product-context.mdfor deal stages and scoring definitions.
Boundary: For portfolio-level analysis across all deals, use
the-pipeline-scanner.
Inputs
- Ask: "Describe the deal: company, value, current stage, and contacts involved."
- Ask: "What behavioral signals do you have? (website visits, content downloads, email engagement, meeting frequency, feature usage in trials). If you don't have this data, say so and I'll use qualitative assessment."
Process
- Read
references/deal-scoring.mdfor scoring weights and benchmark thresholds. - Calculate the Health Score (0-100) using these weighted dimensions:
- Progression velocity: 25%, speed through stages vs. average
- Activity recency: 25%, days since last meaningful interaction
- Engagement depth: 20%, number of interactions and their quality
- Stakeholder coverage: 15%, buying committee roles engaged
- BANT completeness: 15%, confirmed elements out of 4
- Calculate the Intent Score (0-100) using these weighted dimensions:
- Website visits: 20%, frequency and recency of site visits
- Content consumption: 20%, downloads, page views, time on site
- Feature usage: 20%, product trials, demo engagement
- Meeting frequency: 20%, cadence and attendance
- Email engagement: 20%, open rates, click rates, reply rates
If quantitative data is unavailable for any dimension, use qualitative rubrics to estimate scores and clearly mark which dimensions are estimated vs. confirmed with data.
- Determine trend for each score using 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day windows:
- Rising: score increased 10+ points in the window
- Steady: score changed less than 10 points
- Declining: score decreased 10+ points
If the user cannot provide historical data for trend analysis, note trends as "Unknown: insufficient data" rather than guessing.
- Place the deal in a quadrant:
- High Health + High Intent = Strong: accelerate to close
- High Health + Low Intent = Re-engage: reignite interest
- Low Health + High Intent = Unblock: remove friction
- Low Health + Low Intent = Deprioritize: nurture or disqualify
- Run MEDDIC completeness check, score 0-6:
- Metrics, Economic Buyer, Decision Criteria, Decision Process, Identify Pain, Champion
- Run BANT completeness check, score 0-4:
- Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline
For meeting-level coaching on BANT/MEDDIC, use
the-call-coach.
Output
- Format the deal scorecard as:
Deal Scores
| Dimension | Score /100 | Trend | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Health | X | arrow | key factors |
| Intent | X | arrow | key signals |
Quadrant: [placement], [explanation of what this means and recommended posture]
MEDDIC Assessment
| Element | Status | Evidence |
|---|
BANT Assessment
| Element | Status | Evidence |
|---|
Recommended Actions Prioritized list of 3-5 specific next steps based on quadrant placement and gap analysis.
Quality check before returning
- Before returning the output, verify:
- Do the Health Score and Intent Score each use their full set of weighted dimensions, and do the weights actually sum to 100%?
- Is every score dimension marked as estimated or confirmed with data, not presented as uniformly precise?
- Where historical data was unavailable, does the trend explicitly state insufficient data rather than a guessed direction?
- Does the quadrant placement (Strong/Re-engage/Unblock/Deprioritize) match the actual Health and Intent scores computed, not a default?
If any check fails, correct it before returning the output.
- End every output with:

Questions about The Deal Gauge
Everything you need before installing, plus how the skill actually behaves once Claude picks it up.
Dual-axis deal scoring (health + intent) with independent trend tracking and MEDDIC/BANT completeness checks. It's a Claude Agent Skill - a folder with a SKILL.md file and reference material - so Claude loads the methodology on demand when you ask for what you need in plain language, instead of you pasting a template.
