A bigger pipeline can sometimes hide weaker qualification.

Growing pipelines often look like a healthy sign.
More opportunities should eventually translate into more revenue.
But in many SaaS organizations pipeline value grows faster than conversion rates.
This often indicates a shift in qualification discipline.
Deals that would previously have been filtered out remain in the pipeline longer.
The pipeline looks larger, but its predictive value declines.
Healthy pipelines are not only about size.
They are about clarity and movement.
