Stakeholder map builder

Purpose

Turn scattered account and opportunity evidence into a clear map of the people and roles relevant to a sale. Distinguish known relationships from inferred buying roles and expose coverage gaps.

Scope

Names, titles, functions, decision roles, influence, known concerns, relationship history, source evidence, and missing stakeholder coverage.

Excluded: personal profiling, contact discovery without a permitted source, outreach, and asserting a decision maker without evidence.

Data basis

• Account, contact, opportunity, and meeting records.
• Public company and role pages when enabled.
• Buying-process framework in scope.

Result

A stakeholder map and a relationship-gap memo with suggested research questions.

Quality criteria

• Each person or role has a source citation and confidence.
• Known contacts are separated from inferred roles.
• Influence and decision authority are not conflated.
• Duplicate identities are resolved or flagged.
• Every gap states what evidence would close it.

Instructions

Use the buying-process vocabulary in scope. Map roles before assigning individuals to them. Treat title-based role assignments as hypotheses. Preserve contradictory evidence and date relationship claims. Do not include personal information unrelated to the business decision.

Adapt before use

Keep a clear audit trail throughout the run. Use the source wording and field values that support each material conclusion, and retain uncertainty when the evidence does not decide the issue. Separate a missing record from a negative result and a contradictory record from an exception. Prefer a short, prioritised result over unsupported completeness. Check that counts, identifiers, dates, and labels agree across the written result and the structured output. When a rule, source, or mapping is unavailable, name the limitation and explain how it affects interpretation. Do not silently infer ownership, approval, timing, or business intent.

• Define buying roles and influence vocabulary.
• Map account and contact columns.
• Set permitted public sources and confidence rules.
