Why do revenue processes break at the interface?

Table 5Why do revenue processes break at the interface?

Observed pattern	First question	Do not conclude yet
Stage count rises but the receiver has no acceptance event	Did the sender release a complete packet, and is the receiver's event captured?	That the process moved forward
Handoff latency is short but rework is high	What evidence did the receiver accept, and how often was the packet returned?	That the interface is efficient
Several records show the same deal at different states	What stable key or join rule links the records?	That the funnel contains several deals
One branch takes longer than the happy path	Which condition makes the branch eligible, and is it measured separately?	That the average cycle applies to every process
Final owner is visible but returns are absent	Are return events preserved or overwritten by reassignment?	That no rework occurred
Closed records appear in an active stage report	What are the scope and terminal-state rules?	That the pipeline is shrinking or expanding
Funnel counts change after required fields are added	Did the admission rule or denominator change?	That commercial performance changed
