# Pipeline Stage Exit Evidence Note

## Inputs
A redacted pipeline export, approved stage exit criteria and dated buyer evidence.

## Workflow
1. List deals proposed for the next stage.
2. Match each deal to the current stage exit criteria.
3. Flag missing evidence and preserve original stage values.
4. Return an owner-review queue without CRM edits.

## Output contract
Deal | current stage | required evidence | present | gap | owner

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional pipeline: 18 proposed stage moves; 12 meet supplied exit criteria, 4 lack buyer evidence and 2 lack an approved next step. Flag 6 moves for review.

## Review gates
The absence of an attachment is not proof a conversation never happened. Reconcile with the owner before changing the CRM.
