A pursuit now asks one question at a time

Open a pursuit and it takes the whole screen, asking the next thing the bid needs and whose it is, with a map of topics at the left and Scribble's help at the right.

A pursuit's page: the band with its name, value, fit and questions answered, the topics at the left, the question in the middle, and Zoom out open at the right with each section, its owner and its state

A pursuit used to open on a long page. It now opens on a question: the next thing the bid needs, and whose it is.

The layout

  • The band across the top: the name and the buyer, the estimated value with where it came from, the fit out of 100 with its confidence, and how many of the pursuit's questions are answered.
  • The map at the left: the pursuit's topics in order, from The opportunity to The result, each done, in progress or still to come.
  • The question in the middle, asked the way a person would ask it, such as So, should you go for it?, with one button that answers it on the page and asks you to confirm before anything is recorded.
  • Scribble at the right: what it can do for this question, and answers under Learn more.

When a question belongs to someone else, the page says Waiting on them instead of showing you a button.

Everything else is one press away

Zoom out in the band opens the record: the topic's own work, the signals behind the call, the Decision card, Members, the pursuit's properties, Activity and the views, including Documents.

Starting a pursuit asks who is buying

Start a pursuit now asks Who is buying? first. A government buyer and a commercial buyer each get their own ways in, and a commercial opportunity that has no RFP yet does not wait on a deadline.
