The problem
Discounts creeping up one quote at a time
Discounting creeps up one quote at a time. Without checking every Salesforce quote line against list price, nobody sees a rep giving away 40 percent, the same product quoted at wildly different prices or lines above list by mistake.
Without PopdockAI
- Export quote lines and list prices
- Work out each line's discount in a spreadsheet
- Compare prices for the same product by hand
- Notice the margin loss after deals close
With PopdockAI
- Each line's discount is worked out against list price
- Missing list prices are looked up in the price book
- Heavy, inconsistent and above list pricing is flagged
- Read only, with the heaviest discounting by product and account

**Objective:** Audit discounting on quotes created in the last `{lookback-days}` days (default 30), flagging lines discounted more than `{max-discount-percent}` percent (default 20).
**Step 1: Pull quotes**
Call `salesforce-get-quote` with `created-date.from` set to today minus `{lookback-days}` days and `max-records` 200.
**Step 2: Check lines**
For each quote, call `salesforce-get-quote-line-item` with `quote-id`. For each line, the discount is 1 minus sales-price divided by list-price (or the discount field when present). When list-price is missing, call `salesforce-get-price-book-entry` with `product-id` and `active` true to find it.
Flag:
* lines discounted more than `{max-discount-percent}` percent
* the same product quoted at very different prices across quotes
* lines priced above list
* products with no active price book entry
**Step 3: Report**
* Quotes reviewed, lines reviewed, average discount.
* A table of flagged lines: quote number, account, product, list price, sales price, discount percent, flag.
* The products and accounts with the heaviest average discount.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. Do not call any write tool: `salesforce-add-account`, `salesforce-add-contact`, `salesforce-add-lead`, `salesforce-add-opportunity`, `salesforce-add-case`, `salesforce-add-task`, `salesforce-add-asset`, `salesforce-add-campaign`, `salesforce-update-account`, `salesforce-update-contact`, `salesforce-update-lead`, `salesforce-update-opportunity`, `salesforce-update-case`, `salesforce-update-task` or `salesforce-update-asset`.
**Validation:**
* If no quotes were created in the window, say so and stop.Who it's for
