"What's my weighted pipeline?"
→ Automatic probability-based calculation
"Show forecast by rep"
→ Team rollup with individual contributions
Scenario Analysis:
"What if we close all Negotiation-stage deals?"
→ Best case scenario: $X
"How much pipeline do I need to hit $1M?"
→ Coverage analysis with gap identification
"Compare forecast Q1 vs Q4"
→ QoQ trend analysis
Coverage & Gaps:
"What's my pipeline to quota ratio?"
→ 3.2x coverage - healthy
"Do I have enough pipeline?"
→ Analysis with recommended actions
"Show me the gap to hit quota"
→ $X shortfall, Y deals needed
