# How LeanScale runs Gong

Deployed and configured across a quarter of the book. Call data is the evidence trail underneath our conversion and cycle-time work.

**Tier:** Certified. We are trained on it. A core system.

**Where it sits:** RevOps, Conversation Intelligence.

The Conversation Intelligence Standard is open. It is contested.

- Projects we run on it: 3
- Native integrations in our stack: 30
- Hub documents: 41

## What we build on Gong

3 projects from the LeanScale catalogue run on Gong, each with a typical timeline from our delivery record.

- **Activity capture** (RevOps, Blueprint, CRM foundations): Every email, call and meeting lands on the record without a rep typing it. Typical timeline: 1–3 weeks.
- **Conversation intelligence and deal inspection** (RevOps, Blueprint, Deal execution): Qualification scored from real calls and written back to the deal. Typical timeline: 4 weeks.
- **Sales qualification and deal management** (RevOps, Blueprint, Deal execution): Stages with exit criteria and a qualification method reps actually fill in. Typical timeline: 2–4 weeks.

## What we see running Gong

> Widely adopted and well liked by the teams that use it for coaching. The tension we see is tool consolidation: reps who mainly need a qualification framework question carrying another surface, so the deployments that stick are the ones where managers actually run coaching on it.
>
> LeanScale RevOps

- Deployed and configured across a quarter of the client book

## How Gong fits the rest of the stack

Headless readiness and native integrations, read off the vendors’ own pages. Nothing here is asserted from memory.
