| Tier | Deals | ACV |
|---|
| GREEN (verified) | 4 | $212K |
| AMBER (review) | 3 | $347K |
| RED (at risk) | 1 | $50K |
| CRITICAL (action required) | 1 | $58K |

Verified pipeline (GREEN only): $212K At-risk pipeline (RED + CRITICAL): $108K
Forecast summary: Of $567K in open pipeline, only $212K — 37% — has fully verified contact data that meets the forecast standard. $347K is in AMBER deals where the contact is still reachable but data gaps exist, primarily missing direct phone numbers and a title change on the [Customer support SaaS] renewal. $108K is at risk: the [Sales enablement SaaS] deal has a departed contact at Negotiation stage and the [ Sales engagement SaaS] deal has no contact at all. Neither should be in the forecast until a verified contact is assigned. To improve forecast confidence before the call: assign J.S. to the [Sales enablement SaaS] deal, find a [Sales engagement SaaS] contact, and add direct phone numbers to the [Customer support SaaS] and Seismic records.
