I just [won/lost] a deal. Help me analyze what happened and extract lessons.

DEAL DETAILS:
- Company: [company name]
- Deal size: [value]
- Sales cycle length: [how long from first touch to close/loss]
- Decision maker(s): [who was involved]
- Competitor(s): [who we were up against, if known]
- Our champion: [who was on our side internally]

TIMELINE:
[Walk through the deal chronologically — key meetings, turning points, objections, what went well, what went poorly]

OUTCOME: [Won/Lost]
IF LOST: The stated reason was [what they told you]

Analyze this deal:
1. TURNING POINTS: What were the 2-3 moments that most influenced the outcome?
2. WHAT WORKED: What did we do well that we should repeat?
3. WHAT DIDN'T: What should we have done differently?
4. REAL REASON: Based on the timeline, is the stated reason for losing (or winning) the actual reason? What was really going on?
5. SIGNALS WE MISSED: Were there early warning signs (or buying signals) we should have caught sooner?
6. PLAYBOOK UPDATE: What should we change in our sales process based on this deal?
7. PATTERN MATCH: Does this remind you of any common deal patterns? (e.g., 'champion left mid-deal', 'bought on emotion then got cold feet', 'committee decision killed momentum')
