Define lifecycle stages and lead statuses for HubSpot. Our sales and marketing process: [PROCESS]. Who owns each handover: [HANDOVERS]. Current definitions and problems: [CURRENT_PROBLEMS]. Reports we want: [REPORTS].

For each lifecycle stage (subscriber, lead, marketing qualified lead, sales qualified lead, opportunity, customer, evangelist or others) write the definition, the entry criteria, who moves the contact, and the properties that evidence it, testable from data. Define lead status values within a stage. Explain how stages should move forward only, how to handle exceptions, and what HubSpot does on backward movement [VERIFY]. Write a one-page handover agreement between marketing and sales with response times.

Example with three invented contacts moving through stages, and a report definition for conversion by stage: contacts reaching the next stage divided by contacts in the stage, with arithmetic. Mark field and setting names [VERIFY] and review the definitions quarterly. Keep each definition to two sentences and give the data check that would prove a contact is in that stage. Flag any stage that sales and marketing might read differently and propose the wording to settle it.
