Why this works
MQL handoff reviews become political when marketing and sales use different clocks, definitions, or evidence. HubSpot stores the qualification, ownership, activity, and lifecycle signals needed to reconstruct the handoff, while Claude can apply one approved policy consistently across thousands of records. The workflow keeps ambiguous timestamps and disputed exceptions visible instead of turning them into false precision, and every remediation remains subject to human approval.
Expected results
Records or configurations reviewed
100% of the approved in-scope population
The run reconciles every eligible record or configuration item to the signed source manifest rather than relying on an informal sample.
Evidence validation
Stratified QA before action
Every major finding class and high-impact segment is checked against source records before operational changes are approved.
Decision output
One owner-ready action register
Findings are converted into deduplicated actions with evidence, confidence, owners, approvers, deadlines, and rollback requirements.
Operational reuse
Versioned recurring runbook and Claude Skill
The same inputs, rules, prompts, schemas, validation gates, and metrics can be rerun while preserving a visible change history.

Define MQL, SQL, accepted handoff, business hours, excluded lead sources, and the exact owner who can waive a breach. The controls below apply throughout the workflow, not only to this step.
Approve the MQL-to-SQL SLA charter completed as a dated section of the handoff breach register, with contact ID, median assignment latency, evidence links, owner, and approval status for repair owner-routing gaps.
Do not let contact ID stand in for lifecycle stage; that shortcut creates false positives in MQL-to-SQL handoff SLA. Document the result in the same run folder so the next cycle can compare like with like. Apply it specifically during “Approve the MQL-to-SQL SLA charter.”

30-60 min
Document contact ID, lifecycle stage, lead status, MQL date, owner, owner-assignment history, first sales activity, company association, original source, and disqualification reason.
Map HubSpot properties and usable history completed as a dated section of the handoff breach register, with lifecycle stage, 90th-percentile first-touch latency, evidence links, owner, and approval status for coach delayed follow-up.
Keep approved sales holidays visible as its own class because merging it into the main failure rate will distort the decision. Document the result in the same run folder so the next cycle can compare like with like. Apply it specifically during “Map HubSpot properties and usable history.”
