ForecastIQ

You walk into that board meeting carrying the number. Right now it is a spreadsheet wearing a suit.

ForecastIQ makes it the most defensible slide in the room. Built the way an institutional trader reads a chart. Not the way a rep fills out a dropdown.

The Thesis

You run the company at full speed. Your forecast only shows the road you already drove.

Bookings. Coverage. Win rate. Every number in the standard stack is a lagging indicator. By the time a miss reaches the forecast, the quarter that caused it already ended. You are pricing the future off the rearview mirror.

The Two Dashboards

Same company. Two instruments. Only one points forward.

Every metric on the left is real. It just reports the past. Each one has a leading indicator that moves first. That is the difference between explaining a miss and preventing it.

The Windshield · Leading Indicators

Your CRM reads what was logged. We read what is about to happen.

Nine leading indicators agentic AI agents monitor across the live deal universe. None require rep input. Each one moves weeks before it reaches your bookings, and the model reprices probability the moment it does.

The Build

Five steps. No schema to conform to. No SaaS to onboard.

ForecastIQ is engineered, not licensed. The sequence below is the exact path from kickoff to a live, calibrated model.

Step 01

Data Archaeology

Backtest four quarters of CRM history. What would the model have predicted versus what actually closed. Surface where your methodology systematically over- or under-calls.

Step 02

Process Audit

Audit the process that generates training data. Stage gate definitions. Field discipline. Inbound versus outbound segmentation. Garbage in is a process problem. Fixed first.

Step 03

Model Build

Statistical model trained on your conversion patterns, velocity curves, rep-level performance, seasonality, and engagement history. Your physics. Not industry averages.

Step 04

Agentic Signal Integration

Agents monitor the live deal universe. Engagement, transcripts, calendar patterns, stakeholder activity. The model reprices probability in real time. No rep input required.

Step 05

Cadence + Continuous Calibration

Plugs into the review cadence your CFO already runs. Quarterly recalibration. Predicted versus actual published every cycle. If the model is wrong, it is on paper.

Two weeks from yes to the Diagnostic. Twelve weeks to a live forecast.

Where The Discipline Comes From

Nobody else in this space came here from the markets.

Most forecasting tools were built by former SaaS operators who learned to read pipeline. The founder of Sophizo learned to read markets first. A Chartered Market Technician does not look at a chart and ask what happened. They read what is about to happen.

Your deals have momentum. They have trend. They have resistance, the kind that shows up as stakeholder silence and stage stall, weeks before it shows up in your close rate. We put the indicators on the chart.

Who It Is For

One forecast. Three executives who stake their credibility on it.

For the CFO

The Rearview

The quiet 25 percent haircut you apply before the forecast ever reaches the board.

The Windshield

Variance collapses as probability reprices in real time. The number becomes an input you can underwrite, not a wish you adjust in private.

For the CRO

The Rearview

Coverage ratios and rep-entered stage. Pipeline reviews where everyone defends a dropdown.

The Windshield

Velocity and multi-thread activation make the model the referee. The review becomes the three deals that actually decide the quarter.

For the CEO

The Rearview

The number you carry into the room, built on inputs you cannot fully verify.

The Windshield

CQ+2 forward visibility. Defensible the day before, not something you explain the day after.
