Analyze a lost deal to extract root cause and future playbook improvements.

Deal summary:
- Company: {{company_lost_to}}
- Deal size: {{deal_size}}

Provide:
1. Root-cause diagnosis (Is this product-fit, process/execution, timing, budget, or relationship issue?)
2. Red flags we missed during the deal (timeline delays, stakeholder changes, silence, etc.)
3. Three things we could have done differently
4. Was this deal winnable with changes, or was it a bad-fit from the start? (justify)
5. Playbook update (1-2 changes to process to catch similar deals earlier)
6. Prospect re-engagement strategy (if applicable)

Be ruthlessly honest. This is learning, not blame.
