Minimum handoff packet

The handoff should include only the fields that change action quality.

  1. Company name and website
  2. Contact name and role
  3. Trigger or reason now
  4. Core pain or desired outcome
  5. Offer fit hypothesis
  6. Next action and owner

AI assist pattern

Use AI to summarize notes, remove duplicates, and generate a short briefing for the next step.

Guardrails

  • Do not hand off raw unreviewed transcripts
  • Do not invent budget, authority, or urgency
  • Keep one account record, not parallel copies

Why this matters

Most pipeline clutter starts with weak intake quality. Clean handoff improves follow-up speed and reporting accuracy.
