Qbr In A Day
Build the business review an account actually deserves, from data you already have. Use when a user asks "prep my QBR", "build a QBR for <account>", "get me ready for the business review", "prove the ROI before this renewal", "what do we show them", or "prep reviews for everything renewing next quarter". Also answers EBR, executive business review, and value review. Reconstructs what the account bought and why, gathers the dated receipts, names the gaps worth owning, and proposes next quarter's goals with a talk track and agenda. Not a slide designer (it builds the substance; paste it into your template), not risk diagnosis (that is Renewal Risk Sweep), and not for prospects (that is a sales deck).

Audit account health before renewal
Audit Domain Status Key Evidence Use-Case Fit At Risk Visitor-ID workflow stagnant with 0 executions in last 12 days Lead Scoring Failed 14 of 32 ICP-qualified accounts tagged in CRM (56% tag drop rate) Alerting Coverage Warning Top-tier intent alerts route to unmonitored channel; no draft outreach Messaging Architecture Critical Voice layer unconfigured; 0 saved message examples across active reps User Adoption Declining Monthly active users down 35%; primary champion login quiet for 14 days Use this skill when you need an on-demand health check of a trial or customer account before a renewal conversation, when adoption looks shaky, or when a champion goes quiet. It audits use-case fit, lead scoring, alerting, messaging, and user adoption from real data, then produces an evidence-only report with concrete interventions. Do not use for a general account plan or a pipeline-wide audit.

Draft CSM onboarding brief
Evaluation Criterion Risk Level Finding & Source Evidence Contracted vs Verbal Scope 🔴 High Risk Demo promised NetSuite sync in 14 days; signed SOW Section 2 explicitly limits scope to Snowflake. Success Criteria Defined 🟡 Medium Risk Leilani Novak wants executive reporting live by Q3, but quantitative SLA benchmarks remain unstated. Buying Committee Alignment 🟢 Low Risk Leilani Novak (VP Analytics) and CDO fully engaged; champion is primary end-user administrator. Discount & Commercial Terms 🟢 Low Risk Standard 10% annual commitment discount applied; payment terms standard net-30. Turn a closed-won HubSpot deal into the onboarding brief the CSM actually needs: contracted and implied commitments, buying committee map, buyer pain and success criteria, handoff risk with reasons, and a concrete 30-day plan. Use when a deal closes, onboarding or kickoff is being prepared, someone asks what was actually sold, or a sales-to-CS handoff needs reconstruction. If run without a deal or account, start by finding the 3 most recently closed-won deals and ask which one to process. HubSpot only. Do not use for Salesforce or other CRMs, generic deal reviews, or post-sale work without a closed-won handoff context.
