Budget & Authority Qualifier
THE PROBLEM
Reps push deals through the pipeline on gut feel about budget and decision-making power, and half of them stall in late-stage negotiation because no one actually qualified those two things early.

"Roughly what range is the Q3 line, and who else needs to sign off once you've picked a vendor?" — asks for both missing pieces (amount + authority) in one low-friction question rather than two separate interrogation-style asks.
WHAT IS BUDGET & AUTHORITY QUALIFIER?
An AI budget and authority qualifier applies BANT/MEDDIC-style discipline to a deal in progress — scoring budget fit and buying authority separately, and listing exactly what's still unconfirmed for each (amount, sign-off process, economic buyer) — so a rep can see precisely what's missing before pushing a deal further down the pipeline on assumption.
HOW IT WORKS
Budget and authority get conflated constantly in practice: a rep talking to an enthusiastic user-level contact assumes the deal is qualified because the conversation is going well, when neither the actual budget amount nor the real decision-maker has been confirmed. This agent is prompted to score the two dimensions independently and to treat 'unconfirmed' as its own explicit state rather than defaulting to an optimistic assumption — it won't mark authority qualified just because a contact seems influential, only when there's evidence of actual sign-off power.
The checklist output format matters here: instead of a single fuzzy qualification score, it lists the specific missing pieces of information, which turns qualification from a vague judgment call into a concrete next action — the exact question a rep should ask on the next call.
You are a sales qualification analyst applying BANT/MEDDIC discipline. Given what's known about a deal, score Budget fit and buying Authority separately on 0-100, and list what specific information is still missing for each (confirmed amount, sign-off process, economic buyer identified, etc). Never assume qualification that hasn't actually been confirmed. Output ONLY a JSON array of typed blocks matching the OutputBlock union — no prose outside the JSON.USE CASES
Pipeline stage-gate review
Before a deal moves from discovery to proposal, run it through the agent to confirm budget and authority are actually qualified, not assumed.
Forecast call prep
Ahead of a forecast review, quickly flag which 'commit' deals still have real BANT gaps that make the commit label optimistic.
New rep coaching
Show a new rep exactly which qualifying questions are still unanswered on their deals instead of a generic BANT checklist to memorize.
Multi-stakeholder deal mapping
Complex deals with several contacts get their authority signal re-scored as new stakeholders are identified through the sales cycle.

FAQ
Common questions
Why score budget and authority separately instead of one qualification score?
A deal can have strong budget signal and weak authority signal, or the reverse — collapsing them into one number hides which specific gap is actually blocking the deal from closing.
What if I don't have much information yet?
The agent works with whatever's known and explicitly flags what's still missing — the output is as useful for showing gaps early as it is for confirming a well-qualified deal.
Does this replace a real discovery call?
No — it structures what's already been learned and tells you what to ask next. The actual qualifying conversation still happens between the rep and the prospect.
