# Commercial Intelligence — Overview

![Commercial Intelligence — Overview](/docs-content/4aad5b65dc-01-overview.png.webp)

**Navigation:** Intelligence → Commercial Intelligence → Overview  
**Primary audience:** account executives, sales roles, commercial leadership, delivery leaders, and executives with account permission

## Purpose

Commercial Overview provides an evidence-grounded view of the selected commercial scope. It combines opportunity health, buying signals, objections, stakeholder coverage, cross-sell potential, risk of loss, recommended next actions, and comparison with CRM data.

## Context and headline information

The screen can represent an opportunity or filtered commercial portfolio. Period determines the analysis window. Opportunity context shows amount, close date, owner, stage, and evidence-adjusted health with movement.

Health summarizes multiple observable factors. It does not replace pipeline stage or the opportunity owner's judgment.

## Main panels

**Buying signals** lists recent evidence of need, timing, authority, funding, evaluation, or expansion. **Objections** shows category, statement, lifecycle state, and latest response. **Stakeholders** presents known buying roles, influence, engagement, and gaps.

**Evidence thread** connects the commercial state to meeting excerpts, email, CRM changes, documents, and other permitted sources. **Cross-sell** shows candidate offers and why they fit. **Risk of loss** lists unresolved factors such as competition, pricing, capacity, timing, or relationship concern.

**Next best action** recommends a concrete step, its expected effect, timeframe, and supporting rationale. **CRM draft** compares evidence-derived fields with CRM and prepares changes for review; it never silently overwrites CRM.

## Actions

- Change period or opportunity context.
- Open buying signals, objections, stakeholders, or evidence.
- Qualify or dismiss a candidate cross-sell opportunity.
- Accept, modify, or dismiss a suggested next action.
- Edit and approve a CRM draft if authorized.
- Export a governed opportunity brief.

## Recommended procedure

Start with health movement, then inspect the strongest buying signals and unresolved objections. Verify buying-role coverage and evidence recency. Choose one next action and review every proposed CRM change before approval.

## Interpretation

Commercial interest means an observable request, need, constraint, or buying signal; it does not guarantee intent to purchase. Estimated value and forecast state remain qualified. Relationship evidence should be read on its dedicated screen before concluding that an opportunity is safe or lost.
