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
Source Reports
| 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.
