Pipeline Coverage Ratio: The ratio of pipeline value to quota for the period.
Formula
Pipeline Coverage = Total Pipeline Value / Quota for PeriodBenchmarks
- Below 2x: Insufficient pipeline, high risk of missing quota
- 2-3x: Light, acceptable for high win rate teams
- 3-4x: Healthy for typical 25-33% win rates
- Above 4x: Strong, but may indicate pipeline hygiene issues or low win rates
What It Tells You
