The AI GTM Operating System

Most revenue organizations run on lagging metrics. I built one that runs on leading signals.

An AI operating system that converts product signals, buyer intent, and customer behavior into 90-day forward visibility across churn, expansion, and the full customer journey. Designed and proven inside a live GTM organization.

What you're looking at.

The AI GTM Operating System is a framework designed and built inside a live GTM organization. This site shares it completely: the architecture behind it, the results it produced, the workflows running today, and the governance model that sustains it at scale. Every section is grounded in something that was actually built. The person who built it is at the bottom.

The Prediction Loop · SOAR

Prediction is the difference between managing churn and preventing it.

AI is not a chatbot bolted onto your funnel. It is a loop that runs continuously across the customer journey: it surfaces the signal before the number moves, orchestrates the right motion, acts through people and agents, and refines from every outcome. That loop is the engine inside the operating system.

01 / SIGNAL

Signal

Leading-indicator health and engagement scoring surfaces adoption risk and expansion opportunity long before the renewal conversation.

02 / ORCHESTRATE

Orchestrate

The signal routes work to the right layer: a human, an agent, or a digital experience, matched to account complexity and value.

03 / ACT

Act

Intervention happens before the customer goes quiet. Automated where it should be, human where it matters.

04 / REFINE

Refine

Every outcome sharpens the model. The system gets more predictive with each cycle, compounding instead of resetting.

Layer 01

Humans

Senior judgment aimed where it changes the outcome: complex accounts, executive relationships, the moments a model can flag but not close.

Layer 02

Agents

Agentic workflows across onboarding, adoption, support, and review generation, delivering the motion at a scale headcount never could.

Layer 03

Digital

Self-serve and product-led experiences that carry the low-complexity journeys end to end, freeing the other two layers for what they do best.

Built, not theorized

I've built the working model of this operating system for a GTM organization and now I want to share it.

The predictor

The Pulse Score

A score without underlying data is just a guess. Building a truly predictive model requires investing in the signal architecture beneath it first: product engagement telemetry, customer interaction data, buyer demand signals, and renewal-context metadata, normalized and fused into a composite model. This is why agent building and data infrastructure are the same project. The score is the output. The architecture is the point.

Health interpretation

A score that explains itself.

The 0-to-8 scale stays. What changes is the diagnosis. An account at 3/8 used to mean at risk, act. Now it carries a named profile: is product engagement low while no buyer demand exists, or is the CSM relationship the only thread holding? Those are different conversations, different urgencies, different next steps.

0 · CHURN RISKALERT AT 58 · HEALTHY
The missing signal

Customer words predict what usage data cannot.

A customer who logs in every day but tells their team the product is not working is a churn risk. A customer who barely logs in but calls their CSM a strategic partner will renew. Behavioral signals alone cannot distinguish those two accounts.

Gong call transcripts, NPS verbatims, support ticket language, and G2 review text carry the actual words customers use to describe their experience. Combined with product and ROI signals, they turn a number into a diagnosis: not just whether an account is at risk, but why, and what the conversation needs to be.

This is where the roadmap goes next: renewal-call sentiment, meeting acceptance trends, and multi-threading depth wired directly into the score, so prediction sharpens with every customer interaction.

GTM Engineering · intake to deployment

Ideas from the field, engineered for production.

Every agent here went through the same door: a structured intake, a priority triage, an engineering build, a maintained deployment. This is what professional AI operations looks like. Not individuals running scripts from their own computers.

BDR Weekly Pipeline
ProspectingBDR
Weekly scheduled pipeline that runs for every active BDR. Pulls each rep's Salesforce book of business, scores accounts with a composite model combining six SF engagement signals and G2 buyer intent, enriches top-ranked accounts with contacts via ZoomInfo (AMER) or Cognism (EMEA/APAC), assembles account intel from ZoomInfo scoops and G2 profiles, drafts personalized outreach sequences using Claude Haiku, and writes net-new contacts back to Salesforce.
How it works
Triggered by
ScheduledRuns every Monday AM on schedule. One full pipeline run per active BDR. Also triggerable manually.
Processing
3 stages1. Find and Score: pulls Salesforce accounts, scores with six SF engagement signals plus G2 intent, ranks into High/Medium/Low buckets. 2. Enrich Contacts: gap-fills with ZoomInfo (AMER) or Cognism (EMEA/APAC), fetches scoops and G2 profiles. 3. Build Outreach: feeds account intel into Claude Haiku to draft personalized sequences per contact.
Outputs
CSV + CRM writeRanked accounts with enriched contact data emailed to the BDR. Net-new contacts written back to Salesforce with AccountId, BDR as owner, LinkedIn URL, and ZoomInfo metadata.

Churn-Risk Alert & Audit Loop
RenewalAMCSM
Identifies at-risk customer accounts (pulse score 0 to 3), enriches them with Salesforce and ZoomInfo context, posts actionable churn-risk alerts to the relevant team channel, and audits for acknowledgment or non-response over a 4-day window. Bridges the gap until Catalyst v2 ships so CSMs and AMs can act on churn risk immediately.
How it works
Triggered by
ScheduledRecurring batch in n8n, likely daily. Pulls active accounts, filters to pulse score 0 to 3, fires the enrichment and alert sequence. Also triggerable manually.
Processing
3 stages1. Pull and Filter: queries Salesforce for active accounts at pulse 0 to 3, enriches with ZoomInfo for multi-threading contacts. 2. Alert: posts churn-risk alert to team channel with account name, risk level, renewal window, AM/CSM ownership, and 5 recommended contacts. 3. Audit Loop: checks acknowledgment after 4 days, re-nudges or closes based on response.
Outputs
Alert + audit trailChurn-risk alert in team channel with contact quality assessment and multi-threading recommendations. 4-day audit check creates an acknowledgment record. AM/CSM confirms via reply or emoji.

Governance

The system that governs the system.

Scaling AI across a GTM org does not happen through enthusiasm. It happens through a repeatable intake model: one front door, one priority framework, one engineering team that builds and maintains what the field submits. Three phases make it work.

01 / ACCESS

Open the door.

Give every role a structured way to submit ideas. Without a front door, AI work happens in shadow corners: undocumented, single-owner, invisible to leadership until something breaks.

Access is not just permissions. It is a cultural signal that the org is building this together, and that the field is the best source of what to build next.

02 / INVENTORY

Catalog what exists.

Before you scale, you need to know what has already been built. Most organizations have more automation than they think, and most of it is fragile: one person owns it, no one else can maintain it, and it was never designed to scale.

The inventory surfaces shadow IT, informal automations, and one-off experiments before they become technical debt. It is how you prevent the same thing from being built six times by six different people.

03 / GOVERN

Rebuild it to last.

Not every submission should be built. Not every informal automation should survive review. The governance layer triages by priority and risk tier, assigns ownership, and rebuilds approved workflows in a maintained, QA'd, champion-supported form.

The output is a catalog the whole org can trust: tested in the field, documented, and handed to a champion who owns it going forward.

VP, Global Solutions & Customer Success · G2

I started as a software engineer. Twenty years later, I'm still the most technical voice in the executive room, fluent enough to partner directly with product and engineering, commercial enough to own the number.

That combination is the whole point. I build and re-architect post-sales organizations around adoption, outcomes, and AI, moving teams up the customer lifecycle so retention, expansion, and new revenue compound instead of getting chased downstream.

At G2 I designed an AI operating system across the customer journey, human-led and agent-delivered. It rebuilt a broken retention motion, lifted renewal rates 46%, cut support operating costs 60%, and stood up new services revenue from zero. Before that I built functions from the ground up at Slack, through the Salesforce $27B acquisition, and scaled a Workday practice from a $10M acquisition toward a $120M global business.
