FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything teams ask before connecting their HubSpot pipeline.
- Does Quarterdeck change anything in my HubSpot account?
- No. Quarterdeck is strictly read-only. It never creates, edits, or deletes any HubSpot record, and it takes no autonomous actions in your CRM.
- What HubSpot data does Quarterdeck read?
- Selected deal properties, deal owners, pipeline metadata, and deal-note creation timestamps — all read-only. The current integration uses HubSpot's contacts read scope for those note timestamps, not to call contact-record endpoints or store contact records. It does not access companies and requests no write scopes. See the Shared Data page for a full breakdown.
- Is the scoring done by AI?
- No. Deal ranking, risk flags, change detection, and trust context are deterministic and rule-based. AI generates narrative after those calculations and is not used to decide whether a deal changed. Generated narrative should be reviewed against the supporting evidence.
- Which AI provider do you use, and what is sent to it?
- We use Anthropic (Claude) for narrative summaries, not OpenAI. Requests contain structured findings Quarterdeck already calculated. They can include company name, reporting period, aggregate metrics, deterministic scores, and, where relevant, at-risk deal names, HubSpot deal IDs, amounts, and risk reasons. Quarterdeck does not send contact records or note bodies in these narrative requests.
- How is Quarterdeck different from HubSpot dashboards?
- HubSpot dashboards help you inspect pipeline metrics. Quarterdeck is narrower: it reviews HubSpot evidence and surfaces the small number of deals that deserve attention before the weekly forecast meeting.
- Is Quarterdeck trying to replace Gong, Clari, or Salesforce forecasting?
- No. Quarterdeck does not record calls, manage forecasts, coach reps, or write back to CRM. It is a read-only HubSpot attention layer for teams that want a concise weekly exception review.
- Where is my data stored, and how long do you keep it?
- Data is stored in Supabase. Quarterdeck's database schema uses row-level security policies scoped by tenant membership. When Quarterdeck confirms a successful disconnect, it has deleted the stored HubSpot connection and the CRM-derived records used by the product. Revoke the OAuth grant separately from HubSpot Connected Apps. See the Privacy Policy.
- Can I revoke access?
- Yes. A successful disconnect from Quarterdeck's Settings page deletes its local HubSpot-derived data; HubSpot's Connected Apps settings revokes the OAuth grant. Quarterdeck does not modify your HubSpot records. See the Setup Guide for steps.
- How much does it cost?
- Intended paid plans are Starter ($99/mo) and Pro ($299/mo). Quarterdeck is currently onboarding a limited number of design partners for early access and direct product feedback. See Pricing.
- Do you support HubSpot Free / Starter tiers?
- Compatibility depends on the permissions and API data available in your HubSpot portal. Quarterdeck uses read-only deal, owner, pipeline, and deal-note timestamp data; where a signal is unavailable, deterministic views label the evidence gap.
