## Execution Flow

### Step 1: Get Deal Context

```
crm.get_deal({
  dealId: context.dealId,
  includeHistory: true,
  includeContacts: true
})
```

```
crm.get_account({
  accountId: deal.accountId,
  includeIndustry: true,
  includeCompanySize: true
})
```

### Step 2: Search Content Library

```
content.search({
  filters: {
    industry: account.industry,
    segment: account.segment,
    persona: context.persona,
    contentType: context.contentType,
    competitor: context.competitor,
    status: "published"
  },
  limit: 50
})
```

### Step 3: Get Content Performance Data

```
content.get_usage_stats({
  contentIds: searchResults.map(c => c.id),
  metrics: [
    "view_count",
    "share_count",
    "avg_engagement_time",
    "deals_influenced",
    "win_correlation"
  ],
  period: "90d"
})
```

### Step 4: AI Content Matching

```
ai.match_content({
  dealContext: {
    industry: account.industry,
    segment: account.segment,
    stage: deal.stage,
    personas: deal.contacts.map(c => c.persona),
    competitor: deal.competitor,
    painPoints: deal.identifiedPainPoints,
    objections: deal.objectionHistory
  },
  contentCandidates: contentWithStats,
  weights: {
    industryMatch: 0.25,
    personaMatch: 0.25,
    stageFit: 0.20,
    winCorrelation: 0.15,
    recency: 0.10,
    engagement: 0.05
  }
})
```

### Step 5: Rank and Filter Recommendations

```javascript
function rankRecommendations(matches, dealContext) {
  return matches
    .map(match => {
      let score = match.baseScore;
      
      // Boost for exact industry match
      if (match.content.industry === dealContext.industry) {
        score += 0.15;
      }
      
      // Boost for competitor-specific content
      if (dealContext.competitor && match.content.competitor === dealContext.competitor) {
        score += 0.20;
      }
      
      // Boost for high win correlation
      if (match.content.winCorrelation > 0.7) {
        score += 0.10;
      }
      
      // Penalty for stale content (> 6 months)
      if (daysSinceUpdate(match.content.updatedAt) > 180) {
        score -= 0.10;
      }
      
      // Penalty for already shared in this deal
      if (dealContext.sharedContent?.includes(match.content.id)) {
        score -= 0.30;
      }
      
      return { ...match, finalScore: score };
    })
    .filter(m => m.finalScore > 0.3)
    .sort((a, b) => b.finalScore - a.finalScore)
    .slice(0, 10);
}
```

### Step 6: Generate Recommendations

```javascript
function generateRecommendations(rankedContent, dealContext) {
  const recommendations = rankedContent.map(item => ({
    contentId: item.content.id,
    title: item.content.title,
    type: item.content.type,
    relevanceScore: item.finalScore,
    matchReasons: item.matchFactors,
    previewUrl: item.content.previewUrl,
    shareLink: generateShareLink(item.content, dealContext),
    stats: {
      viewCount: item.stats.viewCount,
      avgEngagement: item.stats.avgEngagementTime,
      winCorrelation: item.stats.winCorrelation
    },
    suggestedUse: getSuggestedUse(item.content, dealContext)
  }));
  
  return {
    topRecommendation: recommendations[0],
    byType: groupBy(recommendations, 'type'),
    all: recommendations
  };
}
```

### Step 7: Log Content Recommendation

```
crm.log_activity({
  type: "content_recommendation",
  dealId: context.dealId,
  subject: "Content Recommended",
  description: `Recommended ${recommendations.length} content pieces`,
  metadata: {
    recommendedContentIds: recommendations.map(r => r.contentId),
    topRecommendation: recommendations[0].title
  }
})
```

### Step 8: Track Sharing (when content is shared)

```
analytics.track_content_share({
  contentId: sharedContent.id,
  dealId: context.dealId,
  sharedBy: repId,
  sharedTo: contactEmail,
  channel: "email",
  recommendationId: recommendation.id
})
```
