Canon Map — Stunspot’s Guide to Sales Prospecting Strategy

This canon maps B2B prospecting as a commercial reasoning system: market pressure becomes institutional demand only when evidence, priority, budget legitimacy, buyer-system capacity, risk mitigation, and execution discipline align.

The sequence matters. Early reports define the reality model and evidence rules; middle reports map buyer systems, signals, stakeholders, and messaging; later reports cover outbound operations, CRM/RAG memory, handoff integrity, funnel analytics, and failure intervention.

Sequence Logic

Commercial reality
  -> macro-financial constraint
  -> signal and evidence discipline
  -> account and buyer-system mapping
  -> signal discovery and interpretation
  -> ICP and market prioritization
  -> buyer psychology and stakeholder politics
  -> procurement and risk mitigation
  -> message engineering and channel systems
  -> commercial memory and AE handoff
  -> funnel economics
  -> failure diagnosis and intervention

Code Report What It Owns
A Market Systems, Organizational Change, and Demand Formation Foundational ontology: demand as an institutional state, not an isolated buyer desire.
B Macro-Financial Constraints & Zero-Rate Arbitrage Decay How capital regimes, CFO discipline, hurdle rates, and post-zero-rate economics constrain what organizations are permitted to want.
C Signal, Evidence, and Commercial Epistemology The distinction between raw events, evidence objects, signal candidates, commercial claims, and action thresholds.
D Account Reality Models and Buyer-System Mapping Why accounts do not buy; buyer-systems do. Maps authority, influence, budget, risk, approval, and veto paths.
E Public Signals, Trigger Events, and Market Observation Systems Public and semi-public evidence sources for detecting organizational pressure and market movement.
F Signal Interpretation, Pressure Detection, and Relevance Formation Converts observed events into pressure hypotheses, relevance judgments, and confidence-calibrated commercial interpretation.
G ICP Architecture, Segmentation Logic, and Market Prioritization Dynamic ICP design, account selection, segmentation logic, exclusion discipline, and market prioritization.
H Buyer Psychology, Decision Economics, and Behavioral Dynamics Loss aversion, satisficing, risk perception, switching dread, and the human economics of organizational buying.
I Stakeholder Cartography, Consensus Formation, and Political Navigation Multi-threading, internal coalitions, mobilizers, blockers, consensus formation, and political feasibility.
J Buyer Risk Mitigation & The Procurement Gauntlet Security, legal, procurement, compliance, and implementation-risk gates that can kill otherwise valid demand.
K Message Engineering, Narrative Design, and Attention Economics Evidence-to-language translation: how messages earn attention, lower cognitive friction, and become defensible inside the buyer-system.
L Prospecting Systems, Channel Strategy, and Sequence Architecture Outbound operating design, channel selection, sequencing, cadence architecture, and execution constraints.
M Commercial Data Infrastructure, DataOps, and CRM Continuity Commercial memory: data hygiene, CRM structure, RAG continuity, routing logic, and preserved evidence chains.
N Epistemic Transfer & The AE Handoff Architecture Preserving prospecting context into discovery so the buyer does not have to restart the conversation from zero.
O Conversion Systems, Funnel Economics, and Performance Analytics Stage gates, conversion math, pipeline economics, metric integrity, and performance telemetry.
P Failure Modes, Prospecting Pathologies, and Commercial Intervention Strategy Diagnostic atlas for outbound failure: signal hallucination, targeting decay, buyer-system misreads, message decay, channel damage, CRM/RAG failure, and intervention strategy.

Omnibus

Use the omnibus when you need one-file archival import or when the target system handles very large single-file corpora without retrieval degradation.
