Output from live Lusha run, May 25, 2026:

Total ACV at risk: $302K (72% of active pipeline tied to AMBER or RED contacts)
Pipeline at risk sorted by ACV:
- [Customer support SaaS] renewal — $180K — Proposal — 2 AMBER contacts, both promoted to SVP
- [Sales enablement SaaS] new biz — $72K — Negotiation — 1 AMBER contact, title changed
- [Sales engagement SaaS] reactivation — $50K — Discovery — RED, contact departed, no replacement found
3 coaching observations:
- 72% of active pipeline has a contact data problem — this isn’t random, it’s a territory-wide pattern suggesting contacts aren’t being updated after interactions.
- The $180K [Customer support SaaS] renewal is at Proposal stage with both primary contacts showing incorrect titles. S.K. is about to send a proposal addressing SVPs as VPs.
- The [Sales engagement SaaS] deal has no verified contact — $50K in Discovery with no one to call. Either the deal should be removed from pipeline or a replacement contact found before Q3 starts.
QBR talking point: “72% of your active pipeline has a data quality issue — not a small number of edge cases but the majority. The [Customer support SaaS] renewal is the most urgent: you’re at Proposal with two contacts whose titles are wrong in the CRM. The [Sales engagement SaaS] deal has no verified contact at all. Before we talk about close plans, let’s agree on a data refresh as a pre-condition for any of these deals moving forward.”
