MeshLine
A practical example
Example: a team flags any deal older than 45 days in the proposal stage with no logged activity in two weeks.
Flagged deals appear in a weekly pipeline review where reps either update the close plan or mark them as stalled.
What to evaluate before investing
- Check whether aging can be calculated from last meaningful activity, not just from creation date.
- Ask if the tool can auto-flag or auto-task deals that cross your age thresholds.
- Verify that stage history is retained so you can see how long deals actually sat in each stage.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Aging thresholds are easy to game; if reps refresh a field to reset the clock, the metric looks healthy while the pipeline stays clogged, so pair aging with activity evidence.
