Sub-function
Opportunity Management
Owns opportunity work end to end inside Sales. Runs 3 lines across 20 stations, drains the repeatable share into no shared tower, and holds 4 human gates.
Estate rating
BBB
70 / 100
Hygiene, risk detection and counter-move drafting are agentic. Stage advancement and commit remain seller assertions because forecast integrity depends on human accountability.

The 9 agents running this sub-function
Grouped by what they are for, not by where they sit. The agent org is process-shaped.
Opportunity Orchestrator
Owns the opportunity management lane end to end. Sequences the other agents, holds the timetable, and decides what surfaces to a human.

Stage Hygiene Agent
Executes the opportunity management step it owns, posts its evidence, and hands the unit to the next stage.

Risk Detection Agent
Watches opportunity management continuously. Detects drift, quantifies it, and routes what matters without waiting for a reporting cycle.

Competitive Counter Agent
Authors positions on opportunity management. Frames the question, models the options, and writes a recommendation a human can ratify or reject.
ceiling A2 · escalates to Escalates when two options sit inside the confidence band and the evidence cannot separate them.
Win Doctrine Agent
Authors positions on opportunity management. Frames the question, models the options, and writes a recommendation a human can ratify or reject.
ceiling A2 · escalates to Escalates when two options sit inside the confidence band and the evidence cannot separate them.
Opportunity Management Challenger Agent
Adversarial reviewer for opportunity management. Argues the opposite case on every position and flags where the evidence does not carry the claim.
ceiling A2 · escalates to Escalates when a ratified position is still running against a break condition it flagged.

Win/Loss Doctrine Refresh
In challengev2Should opportunity work stay in the shared transaction spine, or come back inside the function where the context lives?
Hold the ceiling at A2 for opportunity management. Hygiene, risk detection and counter-move drafting are agentic. Stage advancement and commit remain seller assertions because forecast integrity depends on human accountability. Raise it only after two consecutive quarters where the override rate stays under five percent and every override has a written cause.

The challenge — Opportunity Management Challenger Agent
Opportunity Management Challenger Agent argues the recommendation leans on 3 quarters of data from a period with no volume shock. The confidence band overlaps the alternative, and the position does not say what it would take to be wrong. Recorded as a dissent, not a block.
Break conditions
- ·Override rate rises above 10 percent for two consecutive months
- ·Cost per opportunity stops falling while volume keeps rising
- ·A control failure in this lane reaches a customer or a regulator
Evidence gaps
- ·No independent test of the control evidence behind the touchless rate
| Alternative considered | Cost | Risk | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hold the current position | $455k run rate | Known and priced. Cedes ground if comparators move faster. | live |
| Raise the ceiling one level now | $1611k to build controls | Override rate is 8 percent; raising the ceiling before that settles imports the error into production. | rejected on evidence |
| Move the exception tail to the spine | $618k transition | Loses local context. Rework risk on the cases that are hardest to recover. | under review |
Opportunity Management Operating Position
Ratifiedv3What operating shape carries twice the current opportunity volume without adding headcount, and what breaks first if we are wrong?
Keep the repeatable opportunity volume in the spine and pull the exception tail back into the function. The spine is cheaper per unit; the tail is where the context that prevents rework actually sits.
