How do you improve forecast accuracy in a founder-led SaaS company?
Forecast accuracy improves when the company standardizes stage definitions, exit criteria, MEDDPICC discipline, sales-engineering capacity, renewal risk, and finance cadence. The founder should stop being the private probability model; the operating system should explain the forecast before the board asks.
