Pipeline Coverage Calculator
Preview first. Test coverage against win rate and target, then decide the operating fix.
Use case: pipeline looks full but forecast confidence is low. Pair with Pipeline Velocity and the Revenue Diagnostic.
Pipeline Coverage Calculator
Purpose. Do you have enough pipeline to hit this period's revenue goal? Many teams use a simple multiple (often 3x) as a quick check. Your CRM and forecast still win.
What you are comparing
Coverage ratio = weighted pipeline ÷ revenue goal for the same window. Example: $5M weighted pipeline ÷ $2M goal = 2.5x. Both numbers must cover the same time period, for example this quarter's goal and deals you expect to close this quarter.
Revenue you need to close in this period: quota, forecast commit, or board plan. Example: $2M this quarter. Use the same currency and units as pipeline.
For each deal: deal size × stage win odds. Add those up for deals you expect to close in this period. Example: a $100K deal at 50% stage weight counts as $50K. If you only have total unweighted pipeline, you can type it in, but coverage will look better than it really is.
Coverage readout
Expected pipeline dollars divided by your goal for the same period. The band is a common rule of thumb, not a guarantee.
Same scale for both bars
Bar length matches dollars. The chart scales to the larger number so both bars stay visible.
Coverage on a 5x track
The marker shows your ratio on a 0 to 5x track. Values above 5x sit at the end so the layout stays stable.
Below 2x is risk, 2x to 3x is tight, 3x or above is comfortable for the rule of thumb used here.
Pipeline ÷ goal
2.50x
You are between 2x and 3x of this period goal. Tighten the forecast or add pipeline before the period closes.
Band: Tight (2x to 3x)
Recommendation after you run it
If coverage is thin or stage quality is unclear, bring the output to a Revenue Strategy Call. We will isolate ownership of pipeline hygiene and conversion.
