What you get

This sample is a made up example, built from the inputs behind Fill in an example. It shows part of one section of the answer.

Win/Loss Pattern Analysis

Recent Wins

  • Candidate addition: "IT services firms with heavy travel spend": this is not in your current ICP; test adding it if these deals closed faster or larger than your average

Recent Losses

  • Candidate disqualifier: "Large enterprises wanting an ERP-only expense module": lost to a bundled or single-vendor choice: check whether buyers who want one suite belong in your ICP

ICP Evolution Analysis

  • Company: not given (add the company input to name your company or product in this answer)

Sector: read from your inputs as fintech, spend and expense (from the deal details: your own description names no sector).

This review reads your notes against your current ICP and states candidate changes. Each candidate is a hypothesis: check it against your CRM before you change the ICP.

Current ICP
Mid-size manufacturers with field sales teams
Analysis Period: last quarter
Win/Loss Pattern Analysis
Recent Wins
  • Candidate addition: "IT services firms with heavy travel spend": this is not in your current ICP; test adding it if these deals closed faster or larger than your average
Recent Losses
  • Candidate disqualifier: "Large enterprises wanting an ERP-only expense module": lost to a bundled or single-vendor choice: check whether buyers who want one suite belong in your ICP
Market Change Impact
  • Implication to check: "More finance teams now ask for card spend and expense claims in one tool": check which segments of your ICP this moves toward you or away from you, and update the qualifying questions
Your Current ICP, Part by Part
  • Segment manufacturers field sales teams: list every deal you won or lost with manufacturers field sales teams in it this period and compare its win rate with your other segments. Keep, grow or drop it on that evidence.
  • Size (Mid-size): list the smallest and the largest customer you won this period; if they sit outside this size, the ICP is already wider (or narrower) than you wrote it.

Roles usual in fintech, spend and expense that your ICP does not name: Chief Financial Officer, Finance Controller, Head of Accounts Payable and Head of Treasury. Check whether they sign or evaluate in the deals you won or lost; if they do, the ICP should name them.

Loss reasons to tag in your CRM (the objections fintech, spend and expense buyers raise): our ERP already does this; security and compliance review; migration will disrupt the close; regulatory caution. Count each over the period you are reviewing; a reason that rises is a change to your ICP or your qualification.

Sector notes: fintech, spend and expense
  • Who usually decides: The CFO signs; the Finance Controller or the head of the affected finance team champions; internal audit and compliance review controls; IT checks ERP integration and security; HR joins when employees are affected.
  • What this sector measures: days to close the books, reconciliation effort, policy breach rate, approval cycle time, audit findings, cost per transaction, payment success rate.
  • Words this sector's buyers use: reconciliation, month end close, policy controls, audit trail, accounts payable, ERP posting, compliance review, approval workflow, data residency.
Draft ICP for last quarter

Built only from your own words. It is a hypothesis: check each line against your CRM before you adopt it.

  • Your ICP as written: "Mid-size manufacturers with field sales teams"
  • Segments to keep until the data says otherwise: manufacturers field sales teams; size: Mid-size.
  • Add on trial: "IT services firms with heavy travel spend" (these wins are not in your ICP text; keep them if they closed faster or larger than your average).
  • Qualify out on trial: "Large enterprises wanting an ERP-only expense module" (lost to a bundled or single-vendor choice).
  • First change to test: Test adding "IT services firms with heavy travel spend".
  • Check against the market: "More finance teams now ask for card spend and expense claims in one tool": which of your segments does it move toward you or away from you?
What to pull from your CRM for last quarter

For manufacturers field sales teams: the deals you won and lost, the ACV and the sales cycle, and the churn and renewals. Put the answers next to the draft above and change a line only where the numbers say so.

How to read the answer

The tracker compares your Current ICP text against your Recent wins, Recent losses, and Market changes and outputs Win/Loss Pattern Analysis (Candidate addition and Candidate disqualifier), Market Change Impact, Your Current ICP, Part by Part, a Draft ICP for the period, and What to pull from your CRM. Every suggested addition or disqualifier is explicitly marked as a hypothesis to test against your CRM win rates, ACV, sales cycle, and churn before you rewrite your official ICP.

What to do next

  • Founder: Check What to pull from your CRM before changing strategy: compare win rate, ACV, sales cycle, and churn between your core ICP segment and the Add on trial segment.
  • CEO: Keep your core segment unchanged until the CRM numbers prove the Candidate addition closes faster, larger, or retains better than your average.
  • CMO: Test messaging for the Add on trial segment in a bounded campaign while updating qualification questions to reflect the Market Change Impact.
  • CRO: Add the Qualify out on trial criteria and the sector loss reasons to your CRM disqualification tags so reps stop burning cycles on unwinnable deals.
  • Demand generation head: Run a small pilot campaign for the Add on trial segment and exclude the Candidate disqualifier profile from paid targeting.

Why come back

Run this tool at every quarterly business review with that quarter's won deals, lost deals, and market shifts to decide what to keep, add on trial, or qualify out next quarter. The tool applies the same fixed rules every time. It does not call an AI model, and this site does not keep what you enter.

Who is the ICP Evolution Tracker tool not ideal for?

  • Anyone who cannot give the inputs listed above, because the answer is built only from them.
  • Teams looking for a list of companies to target: the tools describe and score profiles from your data, but they do not find companies.

How do I use the ICP Evolution Tracker tool with an AI assistant?

Add ICP Intelligence once (see Use it in Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini), then ask in plain words. Here is a prompt built from the tested example:

My role is not stated. Ask me for my role first. Use ICP Intelligence's ICP Evolution Tracker tool. current ICP: Mid-size manufacturers with field sales teams; recent wins: IT services firms with heavy travel spend; recent losses: Large enterprises wanting an ERP-only expense module; time period: last quarter; market changes: More finance teams now ask for card spend and expense claims in one tool. If this tool is unavailable, ask me to open its web page; do not invent its output. In Gemini CLI or Antigravity, use the Helix GTM Suite skills package for related guidance, without claiming to run this connector.

How does the ICP Evolution Tracker tool work?

You do not need to sign in. A web browser is enough, and the answer comes back in a second or two.

  1. Fill in the form above, or press Fill in an example.
  2. Press Run ICP Evolution Tracker.
  3. Read the result on this page, then copy it and edit it before you use it.

It applies fixed rules in the ICP Intelligence code to the inputs above and returns text. It does not call an AI model, does not look anything up, and does not store what you type. The web form and the AI assistant connector run the same tool code, so the same input gives the same answer in both.
