Outcome. A contact who sits in Marketing Qualified Lead for longer than an agreed window without moving to Sales Qualified Lead gets flagged to marketing ops, instead of quietly aging out of the funnel unnoticed.

When to use it, when not to
- UseUse once marketing-ops-001 (or an equivalent MQL promotion workflow)
is live and
MQL dateis populated reliably. - UseUse to catch handoff failures: an MQL sales never picked up, or one sales rejected without logging a reason.
- SkipDo not use a single aging threshold across very different lead sources if some sources have a naturally slower sales-follow-up cadence (event leads versus demo requests, for example). Segment the threshold if needed.
- SkipDo not treat this as a replacement for a working MQL-to-SQL handoff process (marketing-ops-002). This is a safety net that catches what the handoff missed, not the handoff itself.
