Permission tiers follow the Phase 1 design: RFQ only / can order / can view invoices — the three roles can't exceed their scope, and the backend logs every login and price view.
This view is for the internal sales/ops team, used to track whether the platform is meeting its "empower distributors" goal — mirrors the core KPIs in the execution strategy.

Biggest drop-off: Qualified → Sample/Quote loses 50% of leads. Focus here — faster sample dispatch and quicker formal quotes move the whole funnel.
A snapshot of where every active contact sits across the lifecycle — from anonymous visitor to converted distributor. Each state shows how many are in it, how long they have been there, and how many are at risk of going cold.
