# CRM Next Step Evidence Audit

## Inputs
Authorized opportunity export, next-step fields, source meeting notes, account owners and freshness rule.

## Workflow
1. Match the next step to its source note and deal ID. Retain unverified entries separately.
2. Extract action, owner, due date and dependencies. Distinguish customer agreement from an internal task.
3. Flag vague, stale and unsupported next steps; propose clarifying questions without inventing dates.
4. Return an audit table for the sales owner. No CRM changes, emails or promises to the customer.

## Output contract
deal | next step | action | owner | due date | customer evidence | freshness | missing detail

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional next step is follow up soon. Source note says procurement review pending but no date. Mark missing owner/date; do not create aFriday commitment.

## Review gates
Check original notes and source date; unsupported confidence cannot turn into a commitment.
