Sales – RevOps

Make pipeline and forecast questions fast, credible, and repeatable across Sales, Finance, and Leadership.

Top jobs to be done
  • Diagnose forecast misses quickly and explainably.
  • Track pipeline quality (not just pipeline volume).
  • Build weekly exec reporting that doesn’t break every quarter.
  • Align Sales + Finance with the same definitions.
What you get
  • Reusable workflows instead of ad-hoc spreadsheets.
  • Auditable outputs: how each number was produced.
  • Less time in “data assembly”, more time in decision-making.
A visual walkthrough (3 common workflows)
Each workflow becomes a reusable artifact you can rerun weekly—with shared definitions and an auditable path from inputs to outputs.

Workflow 1: weekly forecast review
  • Compute deltas vs last week (new, slipped, pulled-in, lost).
  • Explain the “why” by segment, stage, and owner.
  • Produce an exec-ready summary + action list.

Workflow 2: pipeline quality inspection
  • Coverage + conversion + time-in-stage in one place.
  • Detect stale opps, missing next steps, and stage anomalies.
  • Make “pipeline quality” measurable and consistent.

Workflow 3: deal-level credibility
  • Spot deals that inflate commit without evidence.
  • Highlight “what changed” signals: activity drops, stage regression, stalled cycles.
  • Keep the logic visible so stakeholders trust the call.
A concrete example: the weekly forecast review

It’s Monday morning. Leadership wants to know: “Are we on track? If not, what changed—and what do we do this week?” RevOps pulls a forecast update, but the real work is always the same: reconcile definitions, explain deltas, and identify actions.

In 42Cells, the workflow is a reusable notebook
  • Pull pipeline + bookings + CRM activity (live queries).
  • Apply shared definitions (“committed”, “best case”, “slipped”, “pulled in”).
  • Compute deltas vs last week and explain the change.
  • Produce an exec-ready summary and a rep/team action list.
The output isn’t a screenshot
  • A single artifact that can be rerun next week (same logic, new data).
  • Auditability: how each number was produced, end to end.
  • Shareability: stakeholders can reference the same source of truth.
What you measure (starter set)
Forecast clarity
  • Bookings forecast by segment and stage.
  • Forecast vs actuals (error by segment / owner).
  • Slippage and pull-in: what moved, and why.
Pipeline quality
  • Coverage (weighted and unweighted) vs target.
  • Stage conversion and time-in-stage.
  • “Stale” opportunities and missing next steps.

We’ll later map these to a semantic layer so “coverage” and “slippage” mean the same thing everywhere— but this page stays dataset-agnostic for now.

Example questions (the ones you ask every week)
  • Which segments drive the biggest forecast error?
  • What changed vs last week: new, slipped, pulled-in, lost?
  • Where is stage conversion slowing down—and why?
  • Which deals should be removed from commit—and which should be escalated?
  • How much pipeline is “real” given historical conversion?
  • Which reps/teams need attention this week?
  • What’s the smallest set of actions that increases confidence this month?
  • Are we over-relying on a single segment, region, or source channel?
What “good” looks like

A RevOps workflow is “good” when you can answer the same set of questions every week with less friction, more credibility, and less debate. 42Cells is optimized for that: keep the logic visible, keep the work reusable, and keep the results grounded in real execution.
