A structured win/loss review that scores what truly decided the outcome — pain, value, price, relationship, process — and turns it into an AI coaching report.

About this template

Lost deals get rationalized; won deals get celebrated; both get forgotten. This retrospective scores the anatomy of a finished deal — pain clarity, value demonstration, price position, relationship depth, process execution — across both outcomes, producing a weighted result and an AI report that states what actually decided it. Patterns across retros are how teams convert individual deals into institutional plays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a deal retrospective?
A structured post-outcome review scoring the dimensions that decided a deal — pain clarity, value, price, relationships, process and execution.
Why run it on won deals too?
Wins hide the same weaknesses; rating execution separately from outcome stops luck from being mistaken for skill.
Does it generate a report?
Yes — each retro produces a weighted result plus a personalized AI PDF stating what most likely decided the deal.
Is the Deal Retro Review completely free?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace and run one per closed opportunity.
Should the client see it?
No — the internal retro is candid by design; a short client-facing version of the decision questions can be sent when they agree.
