The four heights

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

I'm updating the Johnson Manufacturing opportunity to move it from Proposal to Negotiation and need the probability set to 60% before I send the pricing worksheet to procurement; confirm all required fields are complete and any missing approvals are flagged so I can update the forecast by Friday.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I change Andrew Reyes's opportunity stage to Negotiation, surface the last quote date, any outstanding approval requests, and the blocker notes from legal so I can justify a 60% probability to my manager; highlight anything that would make me hesitate to move the stage.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I just clicked Proposal → Negotiation and the probability auto-set to 10% instead of 60%

I just clicked Proposal to Negotiation on the Johnson Manufacturing opportunity and the probability defaulted to 10% while I need it at 60%. The account team expects this in tomorrow’s forecast and I can’t tell whether the stage-to-probability map is wrong or someone changed the default. What is the most likely cause and the fastest, low-risk fix so the number is correct for the forecast?

Become — change the pattern

I keep fixing stage probabilities after they auto-default wrong

Across multiple deals this quarter I'm repeatedly correcting opportunity probabilities after changing stages; it’s costing forecasting time and annoying managers. Where is the underlying habit or system failure likely to be, and what one change will stop this rework for good?

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.
