Revenue Intelligence
The practice of deriving forward-looking signal from revenue activity data — conversations, engagement, deal behaviour — rather than from stage fields alone.
What it addresses
Stage-based forecasting depends on reps updating records accurately and on stages meaning what they claim. Activity-derived signal is harder to game because it observes behaviour rather than self-report.
