One live deal
A real, in-flight opportunity in a multi-year account — not a synthetic test case.
Eight weighted categories
From account history to recommended next action, each category weighted by how much it moves a deal.
Scored by OpenAI
An independent model graded both analyses against the same rubric — neither vendor marked its own homework.

RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTION
CLAUDE’S PLAN

Sensible. Generic.
REECE’S PLAN

Get the economic buyer to validate the platform
Secure commercial approval
Clear the overdue invoice
Confirm the adoption retainer
Turn the vague autumn window into a committed date
