The Score reads your motion. Closing OS fixes it.
A repeatable deal is driven by three models: the process a deal moves through, the method a seller uses at each step, and the qualification that proves it's real. The Growth Score reads all three across demand, sales process, closing and expansion, then points at the weakest one. Closing Foundry is the operator team that fixes it with you.
