The situation: A VP of RevOps runs a full pipeline SLA audit before a board meeting. 9 active deals, $567K total pipeline. SLA standard: every deal contact verified and reachable within 90 days. Last audit: never.
Output from live Lusha run, May 25, 2026:
SLA compliance rate: 44% — 4 of 9 deals meet the defined standard.
Pipeline exposure table:
| Status | Deals | Total ACV | % of pipeline |
|---|
| VERIFIED | 4 | $217K | 38% |
| DEGRADED | 3 | $242K | 43% |
| FAILED | 1 | $50K | 9% |
| CRITICAL FAIL | 1 | $58K | 10% |
Total ACV not meeting SLA: $350K (62% of pipeline)
CRITICAL FAIL — immediate action required
[Sales enablement SaaS] expansion — $58K — Negotiation Contact B.N., Sr Director RevOps: confirmed departed from [sales enablement SaaS]. No verified contact at this account at Negotiation stage. Replacement found: J.S., VP of Revenue Operations — j.s@h***s***.com ✓ Action: Assign replacement contact in CRM today. Do not advance deal to Closing without re-establishing the relationship with J.S. A Negotiation-stage deal with no verified contact is not a deal — it’s a wishlist item.
DEGRADED — title changed, partial SLA
| Deal | Company | Contact | Issue | ACV | Stage |
|---|
| [Customer support SaaS] renewal | [Customer support SaaS] | A.L. | Promoted VP→SVP — title stale | $180K | Proposal |
| [Sales content SaaS] expansion | [Sales content SaaS] | M.C. | VP→SVP promotion — email only, no phone | $95K | Proposal |
| [Conversation intelligence SaaS] new biz | [Conversation intelligence SaaS] | A.O. | Title confirmed, email only — no mobile | $72K | Discovery |
FAILED
| Deal | Company | Contact | Issue | ACV | Stage |
|---|
| [Sales engagement SaaS] reactivation | [Sales engagement SaaS] | — | Contact unverified — no Lusha record | $50K | Discovery |
By-stage breakdown:
- Discovery: 2 of 3 deals with data quality issues — earliest stage, lowest urgency
- Proposal: 2 of 2 deals DEGRADED — $275K at Proposal with stale or incomplete contacts
- Negotiation: 1 CRITICAL FAIL — $58K with no verified contact
Executive summary: 62% of our active pipeline — $350K out of $567K — does not meet the defined data quality standard. One deal in Negotiation has no verified contact at all, representing $58K of at-risk revenue that cannot progress to close without re-establishing the relationship. Two Proposal-stage deals totalling $275K have stale contact titles that will create friction in the sign-off process. To bring the full pipeline to SLA compliance: 6 contacts need Lusha verification runs (estimated 20 minutes and minimal credits), 3 CRM records need title updates, and 1 replacement contact needs to be assigned and introduced before the deal can advance. The risk of not fixing this: the sales enablement SaaS deal stalls at Negotiation, the customer support SaaS renewal proposal lands with wrong titles, and the sales engagement SaaS deal stays in Discovery indefinitely with no one to call.
