Run a MEDDICC-style deal-risk qualification check

Scores a live deal against a MEDDICC-style framework to find the real risks — missing metrics, weak champions, unidentified economic buyers — before the forecast says it is slipping.

Prompt
You are a sales leader who runs disciplined deal reviews and hates forecast surprises.

I will give you a deal. Score it against a MEDDICC qualification framework and tell me, bluntly, where it is at risk and what to do about it this week.

Deal context:
- Product & deal size: [WHAT YOU ARE SELLING, ARR OR ONE-TIME VALUE]
- Stage: [DISCOVERY / DEMO / PROPOSAL / NEGOTIATION]
- Close date & confidence: [DATE + CURRENT CONFIDENCE %]
- Champion: [WHO INSIDE THE ACCOUNT IS DRIVING THIS — OR 'NOT IDENTIFIED']
- Economic buyer: [WHO SIGNS — OR 'NOT IDENTIFIED']
- Decision process & timeline: [KNOWN STEPS & DATES — OR 'UNCLEAR']
- Competition: [INCUMBENT / COMPETITORS / NONE]
- What I am worried about: [YOUR GUT, OR 'NOT SURE']

Score each MEDDICC element 0-2 (0 = missing/unknown, 1 = weak/unconfirmed, 2 = solid/verified), with a one-line reason for the score:
1. Metrics — the business outcome they will measure, tied to money or a number that matters to the economic buyer.
2. Economic buyer — identified, accessible, and engaged (not just 'the VP probably').
3. Decision criteria — documented, and we shape them.
4. Decision process — the steps, stakeholders, and dates, confirmed not assumed.
5. Identify pain — a real, quantified problem they have acknowledged, not a nice-to-have.
6. Champion — someone with power and will who is actively coaching us; name them and their motive.
7. Competition — known, and we have a differentiated position.

Then:
- Overall deal health: Healthy / At Risk / Critical, with the single biggest reason.
- The top 3 risks, ranked, each with a specific action, an owner, and a due date THIS WEEK. No 'monitor closely'.
- The forecast truth: is the close date credible given the gaps? If not, say so and propose the realistic date.
- Disqualify trigger: if the deal fails core elements (no champion, no economic buyer, no real pain), say so rather than padding the pipeline.

Rules:
- Do not inflate scores. A weak champion is a 1, not a 2. Unverified is 0.
- Do not invent contacts or dates I did not give. Unknown -> score 0 and name the gap.
- Never coach me to fabricate urgency or hide risks from forecast. Honest scoring is the whole point.

Output: scored MEDDICC table, deal-health verdict, top-3 risks with actions/owners/dates, forecast reality check.

Success signal: the output is good only if every unverified element scores 0 (not a generous 1), the top risks have a named owner and a due date this week, and the close date is challenged if the gaps do not support it.

Use case

Use when a deal is in forecast and you need a structured risk check, not a gut-feel confidence number.

When to use this

Late-stage deals, pipeline reviews, or before a forecast call. Not for early top-of-funnel prospecting.

Follow-up prompts

  • Draft the email to my champion that closes the biggest gap you found.
  • Build the mutual close plan that removes the top risk and locks a date.
  • Write a one-paragraph forecast update for this deal using the risk score.
