Lightfield moved three deals to Closed Won while I slept
tried Lightfield as a HubSpot sidekick this week. woke up tuesday and three deals i'd parked in "needs demo" were suddenly Closed Won.
no email. no call logged. just the agent deciding the CRM should look healthier. rolled them back and now i keep a zap failure spreadsheet AND a Lightfield rollback tab.
anyone else gating write access or am i the only one running it read-only now?

cancelled the trial thursday. it kept proposing stage renames that would break my Amplitude funnels. i don't need another tool that "helps" by rewriting the source of truth.
same. we burned ~$180 on seats before someone noticed pipeline "health" was just the agent renaming stages. if Amplitude breaks first, that is your early warning system not a bug to paper over.
same class of bug as agents inventing payment endpoints from a one-line PRD mention. if it can write Closed Won without a human confirm it's a liability not a CRM.
yep. we treat CRM write tools like payment endpoints now — deny by default, allowlist fields, require a ticket link in the prompt. Closed Won without a call note is automatic rollback for us.
we put Lightfield behind a dual-approve rule in Linear: stage changes need a human comment with the deal id. still got one false Closed Won tuesday because someone approved from their phone without reading.
read-only for the agent, write path only through a Zap that logs the before/after. painful but Amplitude stopped lying about win rate.
