Raw objects in.
Revenue moves out.
Dynamics 365 is not a CRM — it is the sensor grid of the commercial value chain. Every Outlook thread, call report, SharePoint contract, lead, and opportunity is telemetry. This report lays out the operating model that turns a 40-object raw layer into governed signal, MCP-grounded agents, and — the only output that matters — decisions someone acts on this quarter.
The raw object layer
The 40-entity model, grouped by what each object does for revenue — not by where Microsoft filed it. Click any object: what it is, how it joins, what it feeds, and the move it powers.
Signal flow
From source of truth to point of decision in five moves. REST/OData and Graph pull the raw layer, the medallion refines it, and the MCP layer is what lets agents answer questions against governed gold — never against a screenshot of a stale export.
Funnel physics
A year of synthetic pipeline through the object layer. Toggle the scenario: what the funnel does when engagement capture and response SLAs are instrumented — the two plays that cost the least and pay the fastest.
Instrument panel
Eight gauges that tell you whether the commercial data engine is healthy — each with its current reading, target, and the single action that moves it. Statuses are triage: FIX now, BUILD next, WATCH always.
The value chain
Where every object earns its keep. Five stages, each instrumented by the layer above it — and stage five is where this report hands off to Finance and the digital twin.
Engage
Every touch captured without asking a rep to type.
Qualify
Signal-scored leads routed inside the response SLA.
Commit
Opportunities with complete data or they don't advance.
Fulfill
Orders to invoices to margin — commercial truth meets Finance.
Learn
Agent-summarized outcomes feed the enterprise ontology.
V4–V5 are the seam where this strategy meets RPT-002 (EHS metrics command) and RPT-003 (value-chain twin): the same governed spine, one ontology, no parallel truths.
Action plan
Six plays, sequenced by physics not politics: cheapest telemetry first, agents once the gold layer deserves them. Hover a play to place it on the impact / effort matrix.
