Forecast AssistantA forecast your board can defend, built from the records.

It builds the number from what the CRM actually holds and shows what moved since last week, so the meeting is about the deals rather than the spreadsheet.

What Forecast Assistant doesBuilds the forecast from the records themselves, with every change traced to the deal that caused it.
Its named limitIt reports what the records say. It does not adjust a number to make a quarter look better.
The problem

Three ways a forecast loses its authority.

01

It is rebuilt by hand. Three days of copying between systems, and a number that is already stale when it is presented.

02

Nobody can trace a change. The forecast moved four hundred thousand and the answer to why is a shrug or a story.

03

Optimism is baked in. Every layer adds a little confidence, and the total is a number nobody actually believes.

What gets built

A weekly forecast with the deltas attached.

A revenue control room: a glass drum of desks under a ring of light, charts on every screen
  • Builds the number from the records, not from a spreadsheet that was last reconciled in March
  • Shows what moved since last week, what came in, what went out, and which deals drove it
  • Traces every change to a record, so a question about the number has an answer, not an anecdote
  • Flags where its own confidence is low, instead of presenting a single figure with false precision

It runs on read-only access to your systems of record until you widen it. Every action it takes is logged with the reason behind it.

What changes

Three things look different the week after it ships.

TodayA spreadsheet rebuilt each week
With Forecast AssistantA forecast assembled from live records
TodayNo answer to why it moved
With Forecast AssistantEvery delta traced to the deals behind it
TodayOne number, false precision
With Forecast AssistantA number that names its own uncertainty
How it is proved

It runs against your last four closed quarters before it forecasts a live one.

Quarters you beat, quarters you missed, and the one nobody saw coming, labelled by your team, run twice so the result is provably repeatable.

Below it, or on any unsafe action, it does not ship, and we tell you exactly why. You get the score as a document. The fee buys the truth, not a pass.

Before you build this

Is this the system that costs you the most?

Forecast Assistant is one of nine. The Revenue Leak Report says which leak is largest in dollars, so you build the one that pays for itself first instead of the one that sounds most urgent.
