Forecast problems often start long before the forecast meeting.
Forecast discussions usually focus on numbers.
But unreliable forecasts rarely begin in the numbers themselves.
They begin earlier in the revenue system.
Weak qualification, inconsistent pipeline stages, and unclear deal ownership gradually distort the underlying data.
By the time leadership reviews the forecast, the structural issues have already shaped the outcome.
Forecast accuracy is less about prediction techniques and more about system discipline.
