Commit deals slip
Of deals reps mark as Commit in week one of a quarter slip to the next quarter or never close. The probability is set by the person with the most reason to be optimistic.
Cadence rescores every open deal in your CRM every 15 minutes from email, meetings and calls, then rolls the scores into a forecast. Median error across our customers: 3.8% of the closed number.

Most sales teams build the forecast from probabilities reps assign by hand. Those calls arrive late and lean optimistic.
Of deals reps mark as Commit in week one of a quarter slip to the next quarter or never close. The probability is set by the person with the most reason to be optimistic.
Median lag between a buyer’s decision and the matching stage change in the CRM. By the time a deal moves to Negotiation, the buying committee has usually decided.
A 12-rep team exchanges about 4,700 customer emails a month. A manager gets through roughly 40. The early signs that a deal has cooled sit in the rest.
One authorization screen per source. Reps have nothing new to fill in.
Read-only OAuth, nothing installed on anyone’s machine. Cadence backfills 18 months of closed deals, and first scores land in about 40 minutes.
The model weighs 60 signals: reply speed, buyer-side headcount on the thread, stage velocity against your own won deals, discount depth. Each score comes with the three reasons it moved.
When a score drops more than 15 points in a week, the rep and their manager get a Slack or email alert that same afternoon.
The quarter forecast is built from every deal score: the most likely number plus a low and high bound. You walk into the board meeting with the number and the deals behind it.

Cadence runs on top of your CRM. Reps keep working deals where they always have, and scores, signals and the forecast show up alongside.
Open any deal to see which signals raised or lowered its score, and by how many points.
Reply speed is the single strongest predictor that a close date will slip.
Sorted by how much each issue distorts the forecast.
Every view has a permalink and exports to CSV or Google Sheets.
The forecast locks on the first Monday of the quarter and never changes. At close we compare it to the actual number across all 342 customers.
Twelve read-only native integrations, plus a REST API and warehouse export for everything else. Each one takes a single authorization screen.
Every integration is read-only, and your data never trains models used by other customers.
Audited annually since 2023. The report is available under NDA.

Encrypted at rest and in transit. Per-workspace keys, rotated every 90 days.

“Before Cadence we missed the forecast by 11 points and found out in the last weeks of the quarter. In the first week it showed us that four Commit deals from our strongest rep had gone three weeks without a reply. We worked them that same week.
Within two quarters the miss was down to two points. I no longer keep a separate spreadsheet for the board deck; the Cadence forecast goes in as is.”
We plan hiring and inventory against the Cadence forecast. In twelve months we have not had to make an unplanned budget cut because sales came in short.
Setup took one afternoon. Most of it was getting IT to approve the OAuth scopes; the Salesforce connection itself was live in 40 minutes.

If yours is not here, bring it to the demo and we will answer it using your own deals.
Connecting your CRM, email and calendar takes about 40 minutes. The model then spends two to three days calibrating on 18 months of your closed deals. You get your first quarter forecast by the end of week one.
Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Dynamics 365 have native integrations. Anything else connects through the REST API: your team sends deals, stages and contacts, which usually takes two to three days of engineering time.
Only threads linked to an opportunity: participants, direction, timestamps and reply speed. Message bodies are processed in memory to detect intent and are never stored. Internal-only threads are excluded entirely.
No. Reps keep working in the CRM, and Cadence alerts them when one of their deals changes score. Median rep time in Cadence is four minutes a week.
Yes, it is shown alongside for reference. The CRM forecast multiplies deal value by a stage probability; Cadence adds buyer behavior on top: who is replying, how fast and how many people are involved.
You can export the full workspace as CSV at any time, including score history. After cancellation we delete everything within 30 days and send written confirmation.
On the call we connect a sandbox copy of your CRM and score 50 open deals. You keep the report either way.
Within one business day we will email … with times for the call.
