System Architecture

PILLAR is the first Revenue Architecture Operating System (RAOS). It sits above the CRM as a governed substrate with four structural properties: one canonical data model, a signal-to-action pathway with ownership and SLAs, a closed-loop flywheel that tunes scoring weights from real outcomes, and an AI-addressable surface exposing 129 MCP tools across 14 categories (63 in vertical_intelligence) to any compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, Zed, Windsurf). For the category argument in depth, see Why horizontal revenue tools can’t do this. PILLAR follows a layered architecture that ingests data from multiple sources, computes scores and signals, and surfaces insights through role-based dashboards and the in-app Drafter agent.

Layers

1. Data Ingestion Layer

CRM connectors (Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics 365) sync data using OAuth 2.0. PILLAR pulls account, contact, opportunity, and lead data from your CRM on a regular cadence and pushes computed scores (health, risk, priority) back to custom fields in your CRM so reps see PILLAR intelligence inside their existing tools. Email and calendar metadata flows from Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Starbridge district intelligence arrives via webhook and on-demand API calls.

2. Data Model Layer

PILLAR maintains a comprehensive data model with core entities:
EntityDescription
OrganizationsTop-level tenant for multi-org isolation
UsersTeam members with role-based access
AccountsCustomer and prospect records with 100+ enrichment fields
ContactsStakeholders with buying role classification
OpportunitiesPipeline deals with hygiene and confidence scores
RenewalsContract renewals with multi-variable risk scoring
SignalsActionable alerts with lifecycle management
PlaysSignal-triggered playbooks with task execution
ActivitiesInteraction history (email, meeting, call, note)
LeadsInbound leads with behavioral scoring and lifecycle tracking

3. Scoring Engine

A comprehensive rules engine evaluates every account across 8 categories:
  • Engagement — Usage trends, activity volume, product adoption
  • Fit — ICP alignment, segment, budget, procurement
  • Intent — Buying signals, RFPs, grants, competitive windows
  • Velocity — Deal speed, stage progression, meeting cadence
  • Pipeline Health — Hygiene, forecast integrity, handoff compliance
  • Relationship — Champion, exec sponsor, multi-threading
  • Risk — Churn patterns, budget decline, competitive threat
  • Opportunity Quality — Deal size, win probability, buyer readiness
Each rule produces a 0-100 sub-score. Category scores are weighted averages, and the composite score is a weighted sum of category scores. All weights are configurable.

4. Signal Generation Engine

The signal engine evaluates scoring outputs against configurable thresholds to generate actionable signals. Signals have a 7-state lifecycle (Pending, Active, Acknowledged, In Progress, Resolved, Expired, Suppressed) and are routed across 8 families: Renewal, Pipeline, Expansion, Account, Coverage, Workflow, Starbridge, and Economics.

5. Decision Engine (Strategic Intelligence)

The Decision Engine sits above the scoring and signal layers, consuming their outputs to model financial consequences and generate strategic recommendations. It produces strategic outputs rather than entity-level scores. Five layers of intelligence:
  1. Territory Health Composite — A 0-100 score per territory computed from multiple weighted dimensions including financial health, pipeline coverage, signal density, deal velocity, and quota attainment
  2. Signal-to-Financial Cascade — Every critical signal mapped to ARR at risk, cost-to-yield impact, NRR impact, and headcount plan viability
  3. What-If Modeling — Accepts proposed account reassignments and headcount additions, returns projected before/after territory health and P&L impact
  4. Automated Rebalance — System-generated proposals to optimize territory assignments and coverage
  5. Board Scenario Modeling — Three scenarios (current trajectory, optimized execution, downside risk) computed from actual pipeline cohort data and operational metrics
Access: Executive and RevOps roles only.

6. Presentation Layer

Role-based dashboards including:
  • Command Center — Executive overview with KPIs
  • Pipeline Board — Kanban with hygiene overlays
  • Forecast Dashboard — Multi-band probability-weighted forecast
  • Health Map — Heatmap of account health scores
  • Signal Viewer — Signal feed with acknowledgment workflow
  • Territory Dashboard — SAM equity and P&L analytics
  • Decision Engine — Territory health, financial cascades, rebalance, board scenarios
  • Blueprint Assessment — 142-item GTM maturity diagnostic

7. Security

Row-Level Security on all data. Multi-tenant isolation. Role-based access control with five levels: Leader, Manager, Rep/CSM, Admin, and Executive Read-Only. OAuth tokens encrypted at rest.

Integrations

PILLAR integrates with 20+ tools across CRM, email, calendar, district intelligence, and notification platforms. See Data Sources for the full list.
