Overview

Use AI to analyze your closed deals to generate structured win-loss insights. AI analyzes all your deal documents, CRM data, and conversations to create detailed deal stories with actionable recommendations.

How Deal Analysis Works

Data Sources Processing

Hindsight analyzes multiple data sources from each deal:
  • CRM Properties: Deal stage history, custom fields, and opportunity data
  • Meeting Recordings: Gong calls, Zoom transcripts, customer conversations
  • Deal Documents: Proposals, contracts, emails, notes, and attachments
  • Win-Loss Interviews: Structured feedback from buyers and internal teams
Deal data is synced automatically every 12 hours for the deals you select to import for analysis. Auto-import rules can be configured to automate the win-loss analysis process end-to-end.

Outputs

For every analyzed deal, Hindsight creates a comprehensive deal story containing:
  • Executive Summary
  • Timeline
  • Stakeholders
  • Decision Drivers Analysis
  • Competitive Landscape
  • Key Quotes & Evidence
  • Lessons Learned & Recommendations

  • Automated Detection: AI identifies mentions of your configured decision drivers
  • Sentiment Analysis: Positive, negative, or neutral perception of each driver
  • Impact Scoring: Relative importance of each driver in the decision
  • Supporting Evidence: Specific quotes and context for each driver

Feature Tracking

Track which product capabilities influenced the deal:
  • Feature Mentions: Automatic detection of product feature discussions
  • Customer Sentiment: How buyers perceived specific capabilities
  • Competitive Context: Features compared against competitor offerings

Competitive Intelligence

Analysis Triggers & Automation

Automatic Analysis

Deals are automatically analyzed when:
  • Deal stage changes to “Closed Won” or “Closed Lost”
  • Deal meets auto-import criteria (configured in settings)
  • New deal data is available (win-loss interviews, CRM properties)

Manual Analysis

You can also trigger analysis manually:
  • For deals that need re-analysis after new information
  • To focus on specific decision drivers or competitors
  • When filtering by particular document types
  • For historical deals that weren’t previously analyzed
