| Commit | Will close this period | 90% |
| Best Case | High probability, some risk | 70% |
| Pipeline | Working, outcome uncertain | 30% |
| Upside | Long shot, possible | 10% |
Weighted Pipeline
Weighted Pipeline = Σ (Deal Value × Stage Probability × Confidence)
Example:
$100K deal in Proposal (40%) with High confidence (1.1x)
= $100K × 0.4 × 1.1 = $44K weighted

| Metric | Formula | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Forecast Accuracy | Actual / Forecast | 90-110% |
| Commit Accuracy | Commit Closed / Commit Forecast | >85% |
| Best Case Accuracy | BC Closed / BC Forecast | >60% |
| Pipeline Accuracy | Pipeline Closed / Pipeline Forecast | >25% |
