# Pipeline Stage Duration Review

## Inputs
A pipeline export with stage entry dates, team-approved stage duration thresholds and owner annotations.

## Workflow
1. List opportunities with stage and entry date.
2. Compute days in stage using the supplied as-of date.
3. Flag only opportunities beyond the supplied threshold.
4. Return the review list without editing the pipeline.

## Output contract
Opportunity | stage | days in stage | threshold | flag | owner

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional pipeline: 12 opportunities; with the supplied as-of date, 9 are within threshold and 3 exceed it, including 1 at 45 days against a 30-day threshold. Return 3 flagged opportunities, the longest 15 days over.

## Review gates
A stalled deal can be legitimate. Do not move stages, close deals or forecast; owners review their flags.
