    ⚠ Where we lose late — post-BANT engagement losses

    31 deals lost after entering BANT or later — the most expensive misses, where the team invested real cycles. Excludes pre-BANT auto-closures, Ghosting, "Selling Services," "Advisor Army / Partnerships," and Cove Hill Partners (PE-firm setup quirk where deals are logged under each portfolio company). $4,659,000 across the 24 with quoted amounts. Added 2026-05-20: Maestro (no $ quoted, "Didn't Have Sufficient Budget"), team-flagged late-stage via nurture move.

    Pattern: SDR Delivered is the bleeding stage — 11 losses ($1.95M) where prospects had a proposal in hand but didn't proceed. The dominant reasons are Project Deprioritized (often champion-driven, hard to recover) and Client Not Ready to Start (timing). Contract Review losses are rarer (6) but the most painful per-deal — these include Queen of Clubs ($300K, "Wanted a cheaper option") and inKind Data + Chat ($250K, "Project Deprioritized"). Cheaper-option and budget-shortfall losses cluster at SDR/Contract Review — worth investigating whether earlier price discovery would surface mismatches sooner. 5/20 add: Maestro Tech (no $ quoted, "Didn't Have Sufficient Budget") — team-flagged as late-stage lost via nurture move; another budget signal in the same cluster.
