Nobody ever finds outwhy it stopped.
Recover is usually the largest pool of money in the building, and the least visible, because a stalled decision looks exactly like a live one in almost every system. Work that was quoted, priced and wanted simply ages out of view.

Three ways this stagequietly stops working.
A quote sent, a "let me think about it", and no owner for the next contact.
Follow-up that nudges rather than addressing the actual objection.
A pipeline where nothing is ever lost, because nothing is ever closed.
What the system does about it
- Every open decision carries a value, an age, an owner and a dated next action.
- The sequence branches on the real reason: price goes to financing, timing parks against a date and returns on it.
- Anything needing a person is handed over with the context attached.
- Reasons are recorded and aggregated, so a pricing problem stops being read as a follow-up problem.
Every wait, threshold and branch in that list is a value we set with you during the build, against your stages and your language. None of it is a default we impose.
No number here,on purpose.
Nothing worth quoting. The close-rate and follow-up statistics in this category come almost entirely from CRM vendors, and the ones we could trace had no published sample. What replaces them on our system pages is arithmetic on your own numbers: your open proposal value, your own close rate, your own average age. That produces a figure you can check, which a borrowed percentage never is.

1 of the ten trades have no system at this stage, which is a finding rather than a gap. The hub explains why.

Is this the stagecosting you most?
Often it is not. On the call we look at what is actually costing you most right now, which is frequently a different stage from the one that brought you to this page. If there is nothing worth building yet, we will say so.
