    ### From connection to verified outcome

    The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Connect">
        Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Monitor">
        Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Detect">
        Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Recommend">
        Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Approve">
        You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Execute">
        Apply through governed connector operations.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify">
        Confirm the intended result and keep the receipt.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls.

    ### Audit risks and opportunities

    A fix status appears only where the action, inputs, approval, verification and recovery controls are mapped. Candidate remediations are never executable. Open a check for the detail.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="CRM API token invalid or scope insufficient">
        **Severity** critical · **Outcome** Catalogue quality · **Fix status** Report only

        Once this credential fails, VortexIQ stops seeing deals, contacts and pipeline activity from this CRM entirely, and every pipeline and data-quality finding here goes stale from that moment, silently, until someone notices the numbers stopped updating.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

      <Accordion title="Median lead response time above 8h">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Leads answered after 8 hours convert at a fraction of the rate of leads answered in minutes; speed-to-lead is the cheapest conversion lever in the pipeline.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Stalled open deals above threshold (no activity in 14 days)">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Report only

        Deals with no activity for two weeks are quietly dying; a nudge list ordered by value recovers some before they close-lose themselves.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        Reference: `CRM-PIPE-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="CRM data hygiene below 80% (missing required fields)">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Report only

        More than 1 in 5 records is missing a required field. Incomplete records make segmentation, reporting and any automation keyed off those fields (routing, scoring, follow-up sequences) unreliable, so the gap compounds into every process built on top of this data, not just the records themselves.
