Account Planning first, then live qualification

Deal IQ

Prepare in Account Planning. Same intel follows you into the deal.

Deal IQ opens in Account Planning. Reps read intel, estimate TAM, log and score a hypothesis, choose contact and channel, and draft an opener before Alex narrates Turn 1. The same intel follows you into live play: unified Documents, Klara grounded in named docs, and a pre-contact timeline in your Journal. Scenarios are tailored per client: industry, product, and framework.

Deal IQ spine

From territory to debrief. One thread.

Deal IQ opens in Account Planning. Reps read intel, estimate TAM, log and score a hypothesis, choose contact and channel, and draft an opener before Alex narrates Turn 1.

  1. 01

    Territory

    Read briefs, compare accounts, rank, commit your focus account.

  2. 02

    Account Planning

    Intel, TAM, hypothesis tiers, contact, opener before Turn 1.

  3. 03

    Value Pyramid

    Rank initiatives, wedge TAM, align outreach to account plan layers.

  4. 04

    Qualification

    Outreach and discovery before live buyer pressure.

  5. 05

    Live deal

    Same docs, MEDDPICC or SPICED, Alex narrates, Klara every turn.

  6. 06

    Debrief

    Pre-contact log plus strategic retrospective. Ground truth only here.

What teams actually test

Not slide recall. Reps prove they can research in the war room, carry intel into live play, write a credible opener, and hold MEDDPICC discipline through a business case under pressure.

One thread, three acts

Same intel from prep through debrief

1War room

Account Planning: intel, TAM, hypothesis tiers, contact, opener

2Live deal

Live deal: same docs, MEDDPICC or SPICED, Klara every turn

3Debrief

Debrief: pre-contact log plus strategic retrospective (ground truth only here)

MEDDPICC or SPICED starts after the war room. Klara and Alex see the same doc titles.

  • Unified Documents panel with Account Planning, Discovered, and GM Intel badges
  • Hypothesis tiers scored by Klara (process only, no ground truth until debrief)
  • Pre-contact timeline in your Journal
  • Manager strip: research start time and active play minutes before Turn 1
  • Strategic retrospective at debrief only (ground truth compares prep to account reality)

For sales leaders

Managers inspect prep before Turn 1, not only the debrief scorecard.

  • Live account planning progress before the first live turn
  • Research started timestamp and active play time on the manager strip
  • Inspect desk, hypotheses, TAM, and opener before Alex narrates Turn 1
  • Debrief exports tie prep quality to qualification depth and ICCE

Account Planning first, then your qualification framework

Every run opens in the Account Planning: intel, TAM, hypothesis tiers, contact, and opener before Alex narrates Turn 1. After handoff, board, coaching, and debrief follow MEDDPICC or SPICED per room.

  • War room: read docs, log and score a hypothesis, choose contact and channel, draft opener.
  • Intel handoff: unified Documents with War room, Discovered, and GM Intel badges in live play.
  • MEDDPICC or SPICED after handoff, plus business case capstone and debrief retrospective.

Framework choice

When MEDDPICC, when SPICED

MEDDPICC

Complex enterprise procurement: deal inspection, fold discipline, champion validation, and trap detection across long cycles.

SPICED

High-velocity SaaS and CS handoff: customer-centric discovery, Stage 0 pipeline work, and readiness before Customer Success takes over.

Three operating pillars

War-room evidence, live coaching, and auditable scores in one enterprise journey.

Account Planning

Reps read intel, score hypothesis tiers, justify TAM, and choose contact and channel before Alex opens the narrative.

Intel handoff and live play

Same docs in live play with Klara coaching every turn. MEDDPICC or SPICED board after handoff.

Business case and debrief evidence

Capstone value bridge, pre-contact timeline, strategic retrospective at debrief, and manager exports with turn-level proof.

Account Planning first. This board opens after intel handoff in Deal IQ.

War room first, then your MEDDPICC

Qualification starts in the Account War Room, not the first call.

MEDDPICC is the board after war-room prep and intel handoff. For each client we add the dimensions their culture runs on. Reps prioritize TAM nodes and build openers with verified proof before live play starts.

Your variables

Example for one manufacturing account

?

War room, TAM, and opener are fixed. We name and score extra dimensions to match your qualification system. Partners and Risk shown here are one client example, not a fixed add-on.

P

Partners

Channel and alliance dynamics after the opener. Reps resolve partner conflict and align joint value propositions in the business case.

R

Risk

Implementation and compliance risk in the capstone. Reps quantify and mitigate threats before the committee room.

We design the war room journey and board around your reality.

Six beats from intel to close

Deal IQ FAQ

What is the Account Planning?

Reps read intel, size TAM, log and score a hypothesis, choose contact and channel, and draft an opener before Alex narrates Turn 1. The same intel follows them into live play.

How long is one session?

Most teams run 60 to 90 minutes from war room through closure. Progress can be resumed if needed.

Can scenarios be customized?

Yes. Each cohort can run a tailored enterprise scenario: industry, product, personas, proof library, and MEDDPICC or SPICED framework per room.

Do reps need MEDDPICC training first?

No. Research context and consequence-based coaching teach the framework during the run, not through front-loaded theory.

Is voice input available?

Yes. Players can type or speak actions in English, German, and Farsi.

What can managers see before live play?

War-room progress, research start time, active play minutes, and desk detail (docs, hypotheses, TAM, opener) before the first live turn.

When does ground truth appear?

Hypothesis tiers and Klara coaching reflect process quality during the run. Strategic retrospective and hidden account truth appear at debrief only.

When should we pick SPICED instead of MEDDPICC?

SPICED fits customer-centric discovery and CS handoff reviews. MEDDPICC fits deal inspection on complex B2B cycles. Same war room prep, different qualification board.
