Upsell and cross-sell proposals often stall due to fragmented reviews, unclear ownership, and manual effort required to consolidate customer context, product fit rationale, and risk considerations. These inefficiencies slow revenue execution, increase approval fatigue across stakeholders, and create inconsistencies in decision quality due to non-standardized evaluation criteria.The Product Matching Approval Intelligence Agent centralizes and orchestrates the full approval process for product expansion opportunities. It ingests structured data such as unified customer profiles, product eligibility rules, pricing and discount thresholds, and prior approval outcomes, along with unstructured data including proposal narratives, stakeholder feedback, and contextual documentation. Based on confidence scores derived from mapped rules and historical patterns, the agent routes standard, policy-compliant proposals directly to approvers. When exceptions arise, such as discount deviations or unclear product fit — the agent initiates a guided review workflow that consolidates relevant inputs, surfaces risks, and highlights points requiring human decision authority. LLM generated summaries provide a concise view of key considerations, enabling reviewers to evaluate proposals faster and with higher confidence.By reducing back-and-forth communication, eliminating manual data gathering, and ensuring policy adherence, the agent materially improves process throughput and decision quality. Organizations benefit from faster approval cycles, consistent governance, and increased capacity for Account Growth teams to focus on strategic opportunities rather than repetitive coordination tasks. The result is a scalable, transparent approval process that accelerates revenue realization while maintaining compliance discipline.

2. Proposed Products & Financials
| Item | Type | Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ProjectFlow Analytics Suite | Upsell | $15,000 | Premium Tier Add-on |
| CampaignHub Platform | Cross-sell | $25,000 | New Product Line |
| Subtotal | $40,000 | ||
| First-Year Discount | Discount | ($6,000) | 15% |
| Total Year 1 Value | $34,000 |
Reviewer: David Miller (Finance) Timestamp: 2023-10-27 09:15 AM Comment: The 15% discount brings the gross margin on this deal to 48%, which is below our target of 55% for blended deals. However, given the strategic value of landing our first CampaignHub deal in this sector, I can approve it. We need to document this as a strategic exception.
Reviewer: Maria Garcia (Product) Timestamp: 2023-10-27 11:30 AM Comment: Good fit for the customer's stated needs. The integration between ProjectFlow and CampaignHub is solid, but will require 10-12 hours of professional services for setup. Has this been communicated and quoted?
Reviewer: Liam Davis (Legal) Timestamp: 2023-10-27 02:45 PM Comment: The proposed terms are standard, but the data integration with CampaignHub falls under GDPR. We need to ensure the client signs our updated Data Processing Addendum (DPA-v3.1). Otherwise, we are exposed.
