ICP Match
Does the opportunity belong in the pipeline at all?
Your pipeline is lying to you.
Pipeline ≠ coverage. Feels close ≠ will close.
Pipeline gets filled.
Deals move forward.
Forecast gets built.
None of it is inspected the same way.

This is where most companies break.
ICP MATCH → MEDDIC → INTERNAL ALIGNMENT
A deal either meets the criteria or it does not.
Movement either qualifies or it does not.
Evidence either exists or it does not.
This is what removes noise and restores signal.
Defines what belongs in the pipeline before optimism can distort it.
Separates actual progress from the language of momentum.
Forces evidence into every deal before it can touch the forecast.
Three buckets. One inspection language.
This is how the system keeps every function looking at the same deal the same way.
Does the opportunity belong in the pipeline at all?
Is there real evidence behind the deal, not just narrative?
Do Sales, Finance, and leadership mean the same thing when they inspect the number?

That is where the system either holds up under inspection or breaks.
