Revenue Operations

Pipeline analysis, forecast accuracy tracking, and GTM efficiency measurement for SaaS revenue teams.

Output formats: All scripts support --format text (human-readable) and --format json (dashboards/integrations).


Quick Start

# Analyze pipeline health and coverage
python scripts/pipeline_analyzer.py --input assets/sample_pipeline_data.json --format text

# Track forecast accuracy over multiple periods
python scripts/forecast_accuracy_tracker.py assets/sample_forecast_data.json --format text

Tools Overview

1. Pipeline Analyzer

Analyzes sales pipeline health including coverage ratios, stage conversion rates, deal velocity, aging risks, and concentration risks.

Input: JSON file with deals, quota, and stage configuration Output: Coverage ratios, conversion rates, velocity metrics, aging flags, risk assessment

Usage:

python scripts/pipeline_analyzer.py --input pipeline.json --format text

Key Metrics Calculated:

  • Pipeline Coverage Ratio — Total pipeline value / quota target (healthy: 3-4x)
  • Stage Conversion Rates — Stage-to-stage progression rates
  • Sales Velocity — (Opportunities x Avg Deal Size x Win Rate) / Avg Sales Cycle
  • Deal Aging — Flags deals exceeding 2x average cycle time per stage
  • Concentration Risk — Warns when >40% of pipeline is in a single deal
  • Coverage Gap Analysis — Identifies quarters with insufficient pipeline

Input Schema:

{
  "quota": 500000,
  "stages": ["Discovery", "Qualification", "Proposal", "Negotiation", "Closed Won"],
  "average_cycle_days": 45,
  "deals": [
    {
      "id": "D001",
      "name": "Acme Corp",
      "stage": "Proposal",
      "value": 85000,
      "age_days": 32,
      "close_date": "2025-03-15",
      "owner": "rep_1"
    }
  ]
}

2. Forecast Accuracy Tracker

Tracks forecast accuracy over time using MAPE, detects systematic bias, analyzes trends, and provides category-level breakdowns.

Input: JSON file with forecast periods and optional category breakdowns Output: MAPE score, bias analysis, trends, category breakdown, accuracy rating

Usage:

python scripts/forecast_accuracy_tracker.py forecast_data.json --format text

Key Metrics Calculated:

  • MAPE — mean(|actual - forecast| / |actual|) x 100
  • Forecast Bias — Over-forecasting (positive) vs under-forecasting (negative) tendency
  • Weighted Accuracy — MAPE weighted by deal value for materiality
  • Period Trends — Improving, stable, or declining accuracy over time
  • Category Breakdown — Accuracy by rep, product, segment, or any custom dimension

Accuracy Ratings:

RatingMAPE RangeInterpretation
Excellent<10%Highly predictable, data-driven process
Good10-15%Reliable forecasting with minor variance
Fair15-25%Needs process improvement
Poor>25%Significant forecasting methodology gaps

Input Schema:

{
  "forecast_periods": [
    {"period": "2025-Q1", "forecast": 480000, "actual": 520000},
    {"period": "2025-Q2", "forecast": 550000, "actual": 510000}
  ],
  "category_breakdowns": {
    "by_rep": [
      {"category": "Rep A", "forecast": 200000, "actual": 210000},
      {"category": "Rep B", "forecast": 280000, "actual": 310000}
    ]
  }
}

3. GTM Efficiency Calculator

Calculates core SaaS GTM efficiency metrics with industry benchmarking, ratings, and improvement recommendations.

Input: JSON file with revenue, cost, and customer metrics Output: Magic Number, LTV:CAC, CAC Payback, Burn Multiple, Rule of 40, NDR with ratings

Usage:

python scripts/gtm_efficiency_calculator.py gtm_data.json --format text

Key Metrics Calculated:

MetricFormulaTarget
Magic NumberNet New ARR / Prior Period S&M Spend>0.75
LTV:CAC(ARPA x Gross Margin / Churn Rate) / CAC>3:1
CAC PaybackCAC / (ARPA x Gross Margin) months<18 months
Burn MultipleNet Burn / Net New ARR<2x
Rule of 40Revenue Growth % + FCF Margin %>40%
Net Dollar Retention(Begin ARR + Expansion - Contraction - Churn) / Begin ARR>110%

Input Schema:

Revenue Operations Workflows

Weekly Pipeline Review

Use this workflow for your weekly pipeline inspection cadence.

  1. Verify input data: Confirm pipeline export is current and all required fields (stage, value, close_date, owner) are populated before proceeding.

  2. Generate pipeline report:

    python scripts/pipeline_analyzer.py --input current_pipeline.json --format text
  3. Cross-check output totals against your CRM source system to confirm data integrity.

  4. Review key indicators:

    • Pipeline coverage ratio (is it above 3x quota?)
    • Deals aging beyond threshold (which deals need intervention?)
    • Concentration risk (are we over-reliant on a few large deals?)
    • Stage distribution (is there a healthy funnel shape?)
  5. Document using template: Use assets/pipeline_review_template.md

  6. Action items: Address aging deals, redistribute pipeline concentration, fill coverage gaps

Forecast Accuracy Review

Use monthly or quarterly to evaluate and improve forecasting discipline.

  1. Verify input data: Confirm all forecast periods have corresponding actuals and no periods are missing before running.

  2. Generate accuracy report:

    python scripts/forecast_accuracy_tracker.py forecast_history.json --format text
  3. Cross-check actuals against closed-won records in your CRM before drawing conclusions.

  4. Analyze patterns:

    • Is MAPE trending down (improving)?
    • Which reps or segments have the highest error rates?
    • Is there systematic over- or under-forecasting?
  5. Document using template: Use assets/forecast_report_template.md

  6. Improvement actions: Coach high-bias reps, adjust methodology, improve data hygiene

GTM Efficiency Audit

Use quarterly or during board prep to evaluate go-to-market efficiency.

  1. Verify input data: Confirm revenue, cost, and customer figures reconcile with finance records before running.

  2. Calculate efficiency metrics:

    python scripts/gtm_efficiency_calculator.py quarterly_data.json --format text
  3. Cross-check computed ARR and spend totals against your finance system before sharing results.

  4. Benchmark against targets:

    • Magic Number (>0.75)
    • LTV:CAC (>3:1)
    • CAC Payback (<18 months)
    • Rule of 40 (>40%)
  5. Document using template: Use assets/gtm_dashboard_template.md

  6. Strategic decisions: Adjust spend allocation, optimize channels, improve retention

Quarterly Business Review

Combine all three tools for a comprehensive QBR analysis.

  1. Run pipeline analyzer for forward-looking coverage
  2. Run forecast tracker for backward-looking accuracy
  3. Run GTM calculator for efficiency benchmarks
  4. Cross-reference pipeline health with forecast accuracy
  5. Align GTM efficiency metrics with growth targets
