Nobody's actually analyzed why deals win or lose this quarter, and the retro is starting to run on vibes.

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.

The Win-Loss Analyzer
Turn a batch of closed deals into the real pattern behind your wins and losses, backed by evidence from the deals themselves.
How to run
Ask the user for:
- Closed-won deals: for each, company, deal size, sales cycle length, and the reason it closed in the rep's own words
- Closed-lost deals: for each, company, deal size, stage it died at, and the reason it was lost in the rep's own words
- Minimum sample size check: if fewer than 5 deals total are provided, tell the user the sample is too small for a reliable pattern and ask if they want to proceed anyway with that caveat stated in the output
Output format
The ranking — a table of every distinct reason that appeared across both lists, ranked by frequency:
| Reason | Won or Lost | Count | Example deal |
|---|
The real pattern — one paragraph. If the same reason appears on both the won and lost side, it isn't predictive; say so explicitly rather than counting it as a driver of either outcome.
Red flags — call out plainly if any single competitor appears in more than half of the losses, or if the same objection appears in five or more deals. These are structural problems, not one-off deal issues.
What this means for messaging — the one or two changes to positioning or objection response that the pattern actually supports, referencing the specific reasons found, not generic advice.
Rules
- Only count a reason if it's backed by an actual quote or specific note from the deal data provided. Do not infer a reason that wasn't stated.
- A reason appearing in both won and lost columns gets flagged as non-predictive, not silently included in one side's count.
- If the sample is under 5 deals, state that plainly in the output before the ranking, don't just proceed as if the pattern is reliable.
Quality check before returning
Before returning the output, verify:
- Does every row in the ranking table trace back to an actual reason given in the input, not an invented one?
- Is any reason appearing on both sides flagged as non-predictive rather than double-counted?
- Is the sample-size caveat present if fewer than 5 deals were provided?
- Does "what this means for messaging" reference the specific reasons found, not a generic recommendation that could apply to any company?
If any check fails, fix it before returning.

Questions about The Win Loss Analyzer
Everything you need before installing, plus how the skill actually behaves once Claude picks it up.
Ranks the real, evidence-backed reasons deals close or die across a batch of closed-won and closed-lost deals. 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.
