How to prioritize deals at risk in a CRM
Not all deals deserve equal attention. The skill is knowing which at-risk deals are both winnable and material, and putting your hours there rather than on the deal that happens to be top of mind.

Short answer
Prioritizing deals at risk means spending your limited selling time on the deals whose slip would actually hurt the number. Ardovo scores deal health from stage time, activity, and buying-committee coverage, and Rook surfaces at-risk deals with the specific reason, so reps and managers act on the exposed deals instead of the loudest ones.
What you get
Deal health scored, not guessed
Ardovo reads time-in-stage, activity, next-step freshness, and committee coverage into a health signal, so risk is visible before the close date, not after.
Risk with a reason
Rook flags each at-risk deal with the why, stalled, single-threaded, slipping, no next step, so the rep knows what to fix, not just that something is off.
Prioritized by impact
Ardovo weighs risk against deal size and close date, so effort goes to the deals whose loss would actually break the forecast.
Rook drafts the save
For an at-risk deal, Rook suggests and drafts the next move, re-engage a quiet stakeholder, revive a stall, so acting is fast.
Seeing risk before the close date
Most at-risk deals announce themselves early: the stage stops moving, activity drops, the next step goes past due, or the whole deal rests on one contact. Ardovo reads those signals continuously and scores deal health, so a deal drifting toward trouble surfaces weeks before its close date. That lead time is everything. A slipping deal you spot in week two of the quarter is a deal you can still save, unlike the one you discover on the forecast call at quarter end.
Spending attention where it pays
Risk alone is not enough to prioritize, because a small at-risk deal matters less than a large one. Ardovo weighs the health signal against deal size and timing, so the list a rep works is ordered by impact on the number, not by which deal is loudest. Rook then drafts the specific next move for each, so prioritization turns directly into action and the reps most valuable hours land on the deals that decide the quarter.
