# /c-level-agents:cro-review — CRO Forcing Questions

**Command:** `/c-level-agents:cro-review <plan>`

The pipeline-paranoid operator pressure-tests revenue assumptions. Six questions that surface next-quarter pain this quarter.

## When to Run

- Before committing to a quarterly revenue target
- Before changing sales motion (PLG ↔ sales-led, mid-market ↔ enterprise)
- Before hiring a batch of reps
- When pipeline coverage drops below 3x
- When NRR is trending down

## The Six CRO Questions

### 1. Pipeline Coverage
**What is pipeline coverage for the current quarter, by stage?**
- Inbound-heavy: 3x. Outbound-heavy: 4x. Below either threshold = act now.
- Stage-weighted, not just total.

### 2. Win Rate Trajectory
**What's win rate this quarter vs the last 4 — and what's the leak point?**
- Stage-by-stage conversion.
- If a single stage softens, identify why before forecasting.

### 3. NRR Decomposition
**What's gross retention, contraction, and expansion separately?**
- NRR alone hides churn.
- A 110% NRR with 95% gross retention is different from 110% with 80%.

### 4. Ramp Time
**For the last 4 hires, how many days to first deal and to quota?**
- If ramp > 90 days at growth stage, hiring profile or enablement is broken.
- Forecasted hires must build in ramp.

### 5. Discount Discipline
**What's the median discount this quarter vs last 4? Where is it creeping?**
- Discount creep is the leading indicator of pricing or positioning weakness.
- Cap discounts by approver tier.

### 6. Pipeline Source Mix
**What % of pipeline is marketing-sourced, sales-sourced, partner-sourced?**
- If one source dominates > 80%, you have concentration risk.
- Cross-check with cs-cmo-advisor.
