Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Sales Ops Lead

Weighted verdict

Owns the forecast a 40-seat team lives by. Optimizes for pipeline discipline: stage hygiene, required fields, routing, quota and forecast reporting the CFO will accept. Rejects freeform pipelines that cannot enforce a process and reporting that stops at a dashboard screenshot.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Sales Ops Lead

Contact & data model

How this is scored

Depth and hygiene of the core records — contacts, companies, deals, custom fields, deduplication.

0 — A flat address book; no relations between people, companies and deals.

3 — The standard three objects exist but customization is cosmetic: few field types, no required fields, duplicates accumulate unchecked.

5 — Custom fields across objects, basic dedupe on create, activity history on the record; complex models still need workarounds.

8 — Rich field types with validation, merge and dedupe tooling, relationships beyond the standard model, permissioned field access.

10 — A genuinely modelable system: custom objects or equivalent, bulk hygiene tooling, field-level history — the data model bends to the business, not the reverse.

Report an error

The Sales Ops Lead

Plus tier delivers the required-field discipline I need: unlimited custom fields, mandatory fields, unique fields and field-level permissions. Dedupe is only a 'duplicity checker' with no merge tooling, and custom objects and field-level history are entirely unevidenced, so it stops short of rubric level 8. 2

Pipeline & forecasting

How this is scored

Whether the pipeline enforces a process and produces reporting a finance department accepts.

0 — A kanban of deals with amounts; nothing is enforced, nothing rolls up.

3 — Multiple pipelines and stage probabilities exist, but no required fields per stage and only canned reports.

5 — Stage requirements, win/loss capture and standard forecast views; custom reporting is limited or an add-on.

8 — Enforceable process (required fields, stage gates, routing), custom report builder, forecast by team and period with quota tracking.

10 — Forecasting a CFO signs: weighted and commit-based views, historical snapshots, attainment tracking, and reporting composable enough to answer questions the vendor never anticipated.

Report an error

The Sales Ops Lead

The whole forecast story is Deals, Goals at Sales Plus and Power BI canned dashboards — no stage probabilities, no stage-gated requirements, no weighted views, no snapshots, no attainment history. Mandatory fields exist only as general customization, not tied to stages, and reporting that stops at a dashboard is something my CFO will not sign. 2

Automation & workflows

How this is scored

Triggers, sequences and routing that remove manual work without a consultant.

0 — No automation beyond email templates.

3 — Simple if-this-then-that on records; no multi-step sequences, no branching.

5 — Multi-step workflows with delays and branching, email sequences, basic lead routing — capped by tier or count.

8 — Full workflow builder across objects with webhooks as steps, round-robin routing, sequence analytics.

10 — Automation as infrastructure: versioned workflows, error handling, per-step logs, and limits generous enough that the feature is not its own upsell.

Report an error

The Sales Ops Lead

Workflows (Basic or Advanced) with rules and actions exist, capped at 5 per module on Standard and unlimited on Plus, plus forced automatic email saving. No evidence of delays, branching, sequences, lead routing or webhooks as steps — it sits above simple if-this-then-that but below the multi-step anchor on what's published. 2

Integrations & API

How this is scored

Two-way email/calendar sync, native connections, and an API that treats external systems as first-class.

0 — No API, no sync; data enters by CSV and leaves never.

3 — One-way email logging (BCC), a handful of Zapier triggers, a read-mostly API.

5 — Two-way email and calendar sync for the major providers, a documented REST API with sane limits, a modest native directory.

8 — Deep native integrations for the revenue stack, webhooks, OAuth apps, API parity with the UI for core objects.

10 — An ecosystem: public API covering everything the UI does, event streams, a marketplace, and sync so reliable the CRM can be the system of record without being the only system.

Report an error

The Sales Ops Lead

Real depth on the Microsoft stack: Outlook-native CRM, calendar and contacts sync, Word/Excel add-ins, Teams, Power Automate, SharePoint, 3CX, QuickBooks, plus a developer portal. But there is no Gmail/Google sync evidence, the API is gated to Standard tier, and '3000+ apps' is an unattributed marketplace claim, not a documented native directory. 1 2

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where other people's personal data actually lives and under whose law — entity, hosting, subprocessors, DPA.

0 — US entity, US-default hosting, no public DPA or subprocessor list.

3 — A DPA exists and an EU region is available on request or on top tiers; subprocessor exposure to US CLOUD Act reach is broad and undocumented.

5 — EU hosting selectable at signup, published DPA and subprocessor list; core processing still touches US entities.

8 — EU entity or EU-default hosting with published subprocessors, consent-friendly fields, retention and deletion controls; residual US exposure named and narrow.

10 — European entity, EU-only processing including subprocessors, deletion that provably deletes — sovereignty a DPO can sign off without a caveat file.

Report an error

The Sales Ops Lead

Czech vendor with an EU region hosted by AUTOCONT a.s. in Czechia, on-premises available, and Azure AI processing bound to the deployment region. But no DPA, subprocessor list, deletion or retention controls are evidenced anywhere, and a US LLC (eWay System LLC, Kansas City) sits in the footer with the controlling side unverified — a DPO cannot sign this without a caveat file. 1 2

Report an error

Import, export & exit

How this is scored

Getting in with history intact, and out with everything — the anti-lock-in criterion.

0 — Import is a support ticket; export is contacts-only CSV missing notes, activities and files.

3 — Self-serve CSV import with mapping; export covers main objects but drops activity history, attachments or relations.

5 — Guided migration from major competitors, full-object CSV export, API access sufficient to rebuild the database elsewhere with effort.

8 — Complete export (all objects, history, files) self-serve in open formats, import with dedupe and dry-run, no API metering that prices exit out of reach.

10 — Exit as a feature: documented full-fidelity export, migration tooling both directions, and contractual data-return terms — leaving is a weekend, which is exactly why you can stay.

Report an error

The Sales Ops Lead

The only import path in evidence is vendor professional services at $960/day — migration as a paid engagement, not self-serve. Export is completely silent: no CSV export, no migration tooling, no documented full-fidelity exit; the tier-gated API is the only theoretical way out. 2

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real invoice — per seat, per month, at renewal — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — An entry price exists, but the tiers most buyers need are unpriced, or per-seat maths is obscured by bundles, minimums or mandatory onboarding fees.

5 — Most tiers carry real numbers with billing period and VAT treatment stated, but at least one commonly needed capability hides in an unpriced tier or usage-metered add-on.

8 — Every tier priced publicly including annual/monthly split; limits, seat minimums and overage rules stated; only genuine enterprise contracts are custom.

10 — Complete price computability: every tier, add-on, usage meter and renewal rule public, with a calculator or table that makes the invoice at 3 and 30 seats a two-minute exercise.

Report an error

The Sales Ops Lead

Every base tier and the Sales/Projects add-ons carry real numbers with per-user/year maths, storage limits, tax treatment ('exclude applicable taxes'), billing cycles and switching rules — a 30-seat invoice is mostly a two-minute exercise. Monthly-billing and 3-yearly rates are never separately stated and storage extension is unpriced, keeping it short of rubric level 8. 2
