1. Sign up at your app URL and open Dashboard - you’ll see demo pipeline data (or your own if you already have deals).

2. Connect CRM
   Go to Settings → Integrations (or use Getting started on the dashboard).
   Connect HubSpot (private app token) or Salesforce (instance URL + access token), then click Sync.

3. Slack (optional)
   On the same Integrations tab, scroll to Slack, add an Incoming Webhook.
   Enable CRM sync summary to get a Slack message after each HubSpot/Salesforce sync (deals updated + high-risk count).

4. AI
   Open AI in the sidebar → ask e.g. “Which deals need attention?” or “Why is my pipeline at risk?”

5. Webhooks & team
   Settings → Webhooks for outbound events; Settings → Team for invites.

For technical reviewers

• Quality gate: Run npm run verify before opening a PR (typecheck, ESLint, unit tests). Optional manual GitHub workflow runs the same gate-see CONTRIBUTING.md.
• Architecture, security, reliability, known limits: README - Production engineering for founders and reviewers, then ARCHITECTURE.md and DEPLOYMENT.md.
• Cron / Vercel Hobby: DEPLOYMENT - Vercel Hobby cron playbook (Bearer CRON_SECRET; on Hobby each Vercel cron is at most daily-use an external scheduler for higher frequency).
