The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I have an unqualified lead, Javier Ramos at Summit Retail, who said pricing looks promising but budget is pending. Update his record: change status to Qualified — Needs Budget, set probability to 30 percent, add a note summarizing the budget timing (decision expected July 15), and set a follow-up task for me in ten days.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Become — change the pattern

Every month we argue about whether a lead is Qualified and pipeline numbers swing. Where are we losing credibility and time in qualification, and what single habit change will make our lead-status decisions repeatable and defensible to finance? Recommend one concrete rule for status change plus how to enforce it quickly.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
