Short answer
An opportunity report should help a team decide quickly: which account to pursue, why now, what proof supports the signal, what limitation remains, and which commercial action should happen next.
- ICP account and segment.
- Observed signal and authorized source.
- Confidence level and known limitation.
- Next action, owner, and decision status.

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 |
| Offer and personas | Who is involved and which offer is relevant? | Offer, decision roles, and contacts to confirm |
| Activation | How should the conversation be prepared? | Pitch, call guide, and discovery questions |
| Action | What happens next? | Contact, enrich, wait, exclude, or voluntary handoff |
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 user confirms, enriches, or dismisses each opportunity, then chooses whether it should be sent to the CRM.
