Pipeline coverage calculator
Coverage is your open pipeline divided by your target for the period. The useful version of the number is not 3x or 4x from a benchmark, it is whatever your own win rate demands: close a quarter of what you work and you need 4x, close half and you need 2x.

Your coverage
2.4x
Short of what your win rate needs
- Coverage you need
- 4x
- Pipeline you need
- $2,000,000
- Gap
- $800,000
At a 25 percent win rate you need 4x coverage, which is $2,000,000 of open pipeline; you are at 2.4x, so you are $800,000 short, and with a 60 day sales cycle against 45 days left, most of what you add now will land after this period closes.
Why the ratio usually flatters you
Coverage built on stale CRM data overstates the pipeline. Deals with close dates from last quarter, stages that have not moved in weeks and no logged activity all count at face value, so the dashboard reads 4x while the real, current pipeline is closer to 2x. Audit for recency before you trust the number, and weight by stage if you can.
