A pipeline you can believe
Every deal has a stage, and every stage has a probability on Setup — 10 % for a lead, 50 %
for a proposal, 75 % in negotiation. Value × probability is the weighted value, and the
weighted total is what the pipeline is honestly worth today, rather than the sum of
everything anyone has ever mentioned. Days since contact and an Action column — Do it,
Stale, Wait, Closed — say where to spend the afternoon.
Pro: the board and the follow-ups
Board shows the pipeline by stage with count, value, weighted and average deal; win rate by
count and by value; open deals and value per owner; deals and win rate per source. Per-owner
open counts are “all theirs minus won minus lost” rather than a not-equal criterion, so blank
rows never count. Follow-ups lists the Do-it and Stale deals with INDEX/MATCH on numbered
helper columns.
Checked, not just built
The build recalculates both workbooks in LibreOffice and in a second, independent engine and
compares forty-four values — probabilities and weighted values, actions on the sample deals,
the summary, every Board table, the Follow-ups lists — against numbers computed outside Excel.
