How the gate works

How the Forecast-Floor gate works

This tool grades a deal before you forecast it as committed. It scores 6 weighted controls into a 0–100 number — then a gate that can only make the verdict worse.

SLIPPING
a commit-blocker at 0–1
Commit-blocker · worsen-only

A commit-blocker at 0 or 1 — no defined next step, no recent activity, or an unrealistic close date — forces SLIPPING regardless of the score. A deal you can't name the next step for isn't committed, however strong it looks on paper.

78/100
SLIPPING

Why: The champion is engaged, the deal is qualified, and activity is strong — the score is 78, which reads COMMIT. But there's no defined next step (a commit-blocker at 0): nothing is scheduled with the buyer. The gate forces SLIPPING — a deal you can't name the next step for isn't committed, it's slipping.

Fix firstNext step defined is at 0 — there's no agreed next action with the buyer. Book the concrete next step before you forecast this deal as commit; a deal with no next step is slipping no matter how engaged the champion is.

A high score didn’t save it. The score is context; the gate is the answer — and it names the one thing to fix first. Your own pipeline inputs, scored offline. A forecast aid, not a guarantee.
