Why this works

Late-stage execution fails when each function manages its own queue without a shared readiness model or dependency view. This workflow keeps systems of record authoritative while using controlled orchestration for triggers, routing, reminders, retries, logs, dead letters, and escalation, with humans retaining every commercial, legal, security, and stage decision.

1

Define late-stage readiness and authority

45-60 min

Use Salesforce and Conveyor to set workstreams, statuses, entry and exit criteria, owners, SLAs, buyer deadlines, approvers, confidential fields, and close authority. Create or update the exact fields `readiness_model_id`, `workstream`, `status`, `entry_criterion`, `exit_criterion`, `owner`, `sla_hours`, `buyer_deadline`, `approver`, `confidentiality`, `close_authority`, retaining the native account, opportunity, contact, site, program, requirement, and source IDs instead of matching on display names alone. Apply the operating rule that only authorized owners can mark workstream completion and close remains a human decision, and write every proposed change to a dated change log rather than replacing the prior approved value. Validate the work by testing historical deals against statuses, criteria, and authority; assign each warning or exception an owner, severity, due date, and evidence link, and hold records that fail the check. The completion gate is deal desk, legal, security, services, and sales leadership approving the model; document the rollback or fallback path if the source is unavailable, the connector fails, or the buyer disputes the record.

Output

An approved late-stage readiness and authority model.

Pro tip

Define “ready” separately for each workstream; one signed security form does not mean legal or procurement is complete.

Create the versioned late-stage Claude Project

45-60 min

Use Claude and Salesforce to package instructions, field dictionary, workstream taxonomy, SLA rules, source register, exception rubric, tests, and changelog. Create or update the exact fields `project_version`, `instructions_file`, `field_dictionary`, `workstream_taxonomy`, `sla_rules`, `source_register`, `exception_rubric`, `test_cases`, `changelog`, retaining the native account, opportunity, contact, site, program, requirement, and source IDs instead of matching on display names alone. Apply the operating rule that the project contains required files, owners, `vYYYY.MM` releases, refresh rules, tests, and maintenance procedures, and write every proposed change to a dated change log rather than replacing the prior approved value. Validate the work by running historical close, slip, and no-decision deals through the readiness rules; assign each warning or exception an owner, severity, due date, and evidence link, and hold records that fail the check. The completion gate is deal desk ownership approving the package; document the rollback or fallback path if the source is unavailable, the connector fails, or the buyer disputes the record. Run this template in Claude within the approved late-stage deal Claude Project after attaching the source records named for this step; store the returned JSON beside the source register before any downstream action. Maintain the Claude Project with `instructions.md`, `field-dictionary.json`, `source-register.csv`, `review-rubric.md`, `approved-examples.md`, and `changelog.md`; name releases `vYYYY.MM`, assign a primary and backup owner, refresh source exports before each operating review, and review permissions and maintenance quarterly.

Output

A maintained late-stage coordination workspace.

Pro tip

Keep separate test cases for stage movement, workstream readiness, and exception approval; they are different decisions.

Prompt template
ROLE
You are the governed sales-execution analyst supporting a deal-desk lead, enterprise account executive, or sales operations manager. You work inside the “Coordinate deal-desk, procurement, security, and legal readiness” operating system, where source traceability, stable CRM identifiers, buyer-safe language, and human authority are more important than producing a polished but unsupported answer.

OBJECTIVE
Complete workflow step 2, “Create the versioned late-stage Claude Project,” and produce this operational outcome: A maintained late-stage coordination workspace. Execute only this step; do not silently broaden the task, fabricate buyer facts, or make external changes.

INPUTS
1. APPROVED SOURCE RECORDS: {{create_the_versioned_late_stage_claude_project_source_records}}
2. FIELD DICTIONARY AND ALLOWED VALUES: {{create_the_versioned_late_stage_claude_project_field_dictionary}}
3. ACCOUNT, OPPORTUNITY, OR PROGRAM CONTEXT: {{create_the_versioned_late_stage_claude_project_deal_context}}
4. OPERATING RULES, PERMISSIONS, AND APPROVAL MATRIX: {{create_the_versioned_late_stage_claude_project_operating_rules}}
5. PRIOR APPROVED VERSION OR CURRENT STATE: {{create_the_versioned_late_stage_claude_project_prior_state}}
6. DEADLINES, OWNERS, AND REVIEW CADENCE: {{create_the_versioned_late_stage_claude_project_approval_context}}

WORK TO PERFORM
1. Perform the exact job described by “Create the versioned late-stage Claude Project” using the supplied IDs and field names.
2. Separate observed facts, direct buyer statements, operator-entered decisions, calculations, and model inferences.
3. Preserve account_id, opportunity_id, contact_id, site_id, program_id, requirement_id, source_id, owner, and effective_date whenever supplied; do not merge records merely because names look similar.
4. Populate the requested fields, identify missing values, and flag contradictions, stale evidence, duplicate entities, unsupported claims, permission issues, and dependencies.
5. Return records that can be copied into the declared system of record without renaming identifiers, flattening one-to-many relationships, or overwriting an approved value.
6. Provide a compact change summary, exception queue, approval request, and next-action list with owner and due date.
7. Apply the step-specific instructions: package instructions, field dictionary, workstream taxonomy, SLA rules, source register, exception rubric, tests, and changelog.

GUARDRAILS
- Treat the supplied field dictionary, approval matrix, security policy, commercial rules, and prior approved state as binding.
- Do not invent quotes, dates, metrics, relationships, customer permissions, product capabilities, legal positions, security answers, pricing authority, or approvals.
- Do not perform, simulate, or claim an external write. Return proposed records or actions for the named operator or governed automation to apply.
- Do not collapse conflicting evidence into one confident statement. Preserve each source and route the conflict to the exception queue.
- Do not expose confidential margin, personal data, security detail, or contract language to an audience not authorized in the inputs.
- Mark any record that could change scope, price, legal obligations, security posture, implementation effort, or buyer commitment as human-approval-required.

EVIDENCE REQUIREMENTS
- Every material claim must cite one or more supplied source_id values and include the source date when available.
- Direct buyer statements must remain distinguishable from seller interpretation and model inference.
- Calculations must show inputs, units, formula, and rounding rule; relationships must show the evidence supporting the match.
- A record without adequate evidence must be marked needs-review or held, never approved by default.

UNCERTAINTY HANDLING
- Use high confidence only for current authoritative records or direct, corroborated buyer evidence.
- Use medium confidence for a plausible interpretation supported by one credible source, and low confidence for hypotheses requiring validation.
- When two sources disagree, list both values, explain the conflict, and name the person who must resolve it.
- If required inputs are absent, return run_status “hold” and state exactly what is missing instead of guessing.

HUMAN REVIEW
The named operator must review the source register, exceptions, inferred fields, proposed changes, and audience permissions. Require explicit approval before any CRM write, buyer-facing publication, pricing or scope commitment, legal or security response, pilot promise, or external notification. Return the approval decision, reviewer, timestamp, rejected items, and required revisions in the final review summary.

Expected results

Workstream control

All late-stage tracks visible

Pricing, security, legal, procurement, services, and executive exceptions share one readiness view.

SLA ownership

Every request has owner and deadline

Unassigned or overdue work routes to escalation instead of disappearing in email.

Automation resilience

Retries, logs, and dead letters

Failed actions retain payload, error, owner, and safe replay path.

Close readiness

Explicit ready, warning, hold, or fail

The close decision reflects evidence and dependencies rather than optimistic stage labels.
