# Lens — CRO

Source skill: **cro-review** (the six CRO forcing questions: pipeline coverage, win-rate
trajectory, NRR decomposition, ramp time, discount discipline, source mix; a three-way
verdict — on-plan / shortfall-to-plan / pipeline-crisis) backed by **cro-advisor** (NRR/GRR
waterfall, magic number, expansion share, the single-customer concentration flag, "NRR alone
hides churn").

**One of five parallel lenses — no cross-pollination.** Reads only `market_gtm.json`.

The CRO's signature move: **decompose the NRR** into GRR + expansion − contraction, so any spread
between the headline NRR and the underlying GRR is exposed — the durability question. Test
pipeline coverage against the skill's coverage rule of thumb, read the win-rate trajectory and
discount trend, and flag any account past the skill's concentration line. Return the three-way
verdict — **on-plan**, the **shortfall-to-plan middle rung**, or **pipeline-crisis** — from the
math, and — crucially — decide what to **underwrite the synergy case on (GRR, not NRR)** and what
cross-sell credit to **hold until its gating dependency ships**. Write `cro_review.json`.
