Lifecycle Stage Transition Order Check

Check that record lifecycle stages moved in the defined order without silent skips. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Defined lifecycle stage order and each record stage history.

How it works

1. Record the defined stage order.
2. Read each record stage history.
3. Flag any transition that skipped an intermediate stage.
4. Return the order check without changing stages.

The output

record | from_stage | to_stage | skipped_stage | violation

Worked fictional example

Fictional pipeline order is lead, MQL, SQL, opportunity: a record moved from lead to SQL, skipping MQL, so 1 silent skip is recorded for review.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
