# Clari Forecasting

## Overview

The Clari Forecasting skill provides integration with Clari's revenue operations platform, enabling access to AI-powered forecast data, pipeline inspection analytics, deal activity signals, and forecast scenario modeling. This skill transforms revenue forecasting from opinion-based to data-driven.

## Capabilities

### AI-Powered Forecasting
- Retrieve AI-generated forecast predictions
- Compare AI forecast vs rep/manager calls
- Track forecast accuracy over time
- Identify forecast bias patterns

### Pipeline Inspection
- Access detailed pipeline analytics
- Track pipeline changes week-over-week
- Monitor deal slippage and push patterns
- Analyze stage conversion rates

### Deal Activity Signals
- Track engagement activity on deals
- Monitor stakeholder involvement
- Identify deals at risk of stalling
- Measure momentum indicators

### Scenario Modeling
- Run forecast scenario simulations
- Model best/worst/likely outcomes
- Assess sensitivity to key deals
- Plan contingency strategies

## Usage

### Weekly Forecast Review
```
Pull the current AI forecast alongside manager calls, identifying significant variances and at-risk commits.
```

### Pipeline Health Analysis
```
Analyze pipeline coverage, velocity, and conversion rates to identify gaps requiring immediate attention.
```

### Deal Risk Assessment
```
Evaluate deals based on engagement signals and activity patterns to prioritize intervention.
```

- CRM integration (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.)
- Historical data for AI model training

Overview

This skill integrates Clari's revenue operations platform to deliver AI-powered forecasting, pipeline inspection, deal signals, and scenario modeling. It converts subjective forecast inputs into data-driven predictions and highlights variances, bias, and risk across your revenue funnel. The skill is designed for revenue ops, CROs, and sales managers who need repeatable, objective forecasting and faster intervention decisions.

How this skill works

The skill pulls historical CRM and engagement data (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.) and feeds it to Clari’s AI models to generate forecast predictions and confidence metrics. It compares AI forecasts with rep and manager commitments, surfaces pipeline changes and deal activity signals, and runs scenario simulations to show best/worst/likely outcomes. Outputs include accuracy trends, bias detection, pipeline health metrics, and per-deal risk scores usable in review workflows.

When to use it

Weekly forecast reviews to spot large variances and at-risk commits.
Pipeline health checks to detect slack, slippage, or stalled deals.
Deal prioritization when sales leaders need intervention targets.
Quarterly planning to model upside and downside scenarios.
Post-mortem analysis to track forecast accuracy and bias over time.

Best practices

Ensure CRM integration and a sufficient history of deal data for reliable AI signals.
Combine AI forecasts with human context—use differences to trigger targeted conversations, not to override judgment.
Standardize commit definitions across reps and managers to reduce variance noise.
Review sensitivity analyses for key deals before adjusting plan-level targets.
Monitor forecast accuracy trends and recalibrate inputs or weighting as needed.

Example use cases

Pull the AI forecast and manager calls for the weekly leadership meeting, highlighting >20% variances.
Run a pipeline inspection to identify segments with worsening conversion rates and propose remediation.
Score deals by engagement signals to create a short list of top intervention candidates for SDRs or AE managers.
Simulate a scenario where three top deals slip and measure impact on quota attainment.
Track rolling forecast accuracy to identify persistent over- or under-forecasting by region or team.

FAQ

What data is required for accurate forecasts?

A connected CRM with historical deal records, activity logs, and consistent stage definitions is required. More history and clean activity data improve model reliability.

Can the skill run multiple scenario simulations?

Yes. It can model best, worst, and likely outcomes and let you adjust assumptions for sensitivity testing on key deals.
