What it does
A forecast story you can say out loud in a review or 1:1: the number, the deals behind it, what changed since last week and where the risk sits. It is split into commit, best case and pipeline. It connects to your CRM or reads an uploaded pipeline export. It maps stages to the three buckets, using the CRM's forecast field if one exists, and pulls open deals closing in the period. Each deal named links to its record. It compares with last week's notes if you paste them, so changes stand out. Missing data is marked as blank, not guessed. Scope stays on your own deals unless you say otherwise.
