Opportunity Health Score: Triage Deals Worth Attention

Opportunity Health Score

An Opportunity Health Score is a single rolling metric per open deal that blends signals of engagement, progression, and data completeness into one readable value: progressing, stalling, or deteriorating.

It differs from a risk indicator catalog (a list of warning signs) and from loss-probability scoring (a win/lose estimate): health is a condition summary for triage.

Managers cannot inspect every deal weekly, so the score determines which deals get attention. Buyers should ask what inputs feed the score, how often it recalculates, and whether the components are visible.

A practical example

A manager sorts Monday's pipeline review by health score.

Two large deals show deteriorating scores driven by shrinking email activity and a close date older than the last buyer meeting, so she assigns both to coaching sessions that week.

What to evaluate before investing

Are the score's input signals documented, and can managers see why a specific deal scored low?
How often does the score recalculate, and does it update on new activity or only nightly?
Can the weighting be adjusted to match your sales motion, or is the formula fixed?

Limitations and tradeoffs

A composite score hides its components; a deal can look healthy on engagement while its close date is unrealistic, so treat the score as a triage aid, not a verdict.
