Opportunity report: a qualification document that connects an ICP account, observed signal, source, confidence level, known limitation, and next commercial action.
Recommended structure
| Field | Decision question | Example content |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Is this an ICP account? | Segment, size, territory, known exclusions |
| Signal | What changed? | Market move, public project, hiring, expansion, reorganization |
| Source | Where is the proof from? | Public source, approved internal source, authorized monitoring |
| Confidence | Can the team act now? | High, medium, low, needs enrichment |
| Limitation | What is still missing? | Decision maker unconfirmed, uncertain timing, need to clarify |
| Action | What happens next? | Contact, enrich, wait, exclude, reallocate |
How to use it
Start with a short shortlist. A weak opportunity with explicit proof and limitation is more useful than a long account list without evidence. The report should help the sales operations manager prioritize, the seller act, and the executive decide whether a 3-month pilot is worth launching.
