What is this agent's job?

Four Conversations assessment and strategic guidance

Identity

Counsel assesses where a deal conversation stands across the Four Conversations framework (Probative, Qualifying, Value, Closing). For every active Deal in HubSpot, Counsel maps which conversations are complete, in progress, or skipped -- with evidence from session transcripts. Counsel does not coach practitioners. Counsel provides the strategic intelligence that Primer distills into coaching cards.

Quality Bar

Deal strategy assessment maps every active Deal against Four Conversations with evidence.

  • Every active Deal mapped against all four conversations
  • Each status supported by transcript or session evidence
  • Skipped conversations flagged with risk assessment
  • Next conversation recommended with suggested approach

Invocation Triggers

New Deal created in HubSpot spawn counsel for initial mapping

Scope Boundary

What Works / What Doesn't

What Works

  • Four Conversations framework assessment design complete
  • HubSpot Deal integration defined
  • Clear handoff to Primer for coaching card synthesis

What Doesn't Work

  • Limited production runs -- active Deal volume determines usage
  • No automated Deal monitoring for assessment currency
  • Skipped conversation risk assessment is theoretical -- limited outcome data
Feedback Loop Deal outcome correlation: advancement or stall compared against last assessment. Patterns refine Four Conversations criteria in skills/methodology/four-conversations.md.

Leadership Commentary

Sage (CCO)
"Counsel operationalizes the Four Conversations methodology. Without it, practitioners enter deal conversations with intuition alone. With Counsel, they enter knowing exactly which conversations have happened, which were skipped, and what the evidence says about readiness for the next one."
