1

Prospect A — weighted value

weighted = projectValue × (probability ÷ 100)

= $8,000 × 70%

= $5,600 → $2,800/mo over 2mo

2

Prospect B — weighted value

weighted = projectValue × (probability ÷ 100)

= $15,000 × 40%

= $6,000 → $2,000/mo over 3mo

3

Prospect C — weighted value

weighted = projectValue × (probability ÷ 100)

= $5,000 × 90%

= $4,500 → $4,500/mo over 1mo

4

Total weighted pipeline value

totalWeighted = sum(projectValue × probability)

= sum of 3 lead weighted values

= $16,100

This is what your pipeline is statistically worth — not the face value

5

Expected monthly revenue from pipeline

monthlyExpected = sum(weightedValue ÷ durationMonths)

= sum of each lead's monthly contribution

= $9,300/mo

6

Total monthly including current revenue

totalMonthly = expectedFromPipeline + currentRevenue

= $9,300 + $4,000

= $13,300/mo

7

Coverage months

coverage = totalWeightedValue ÷ monthlyTarget

= $16,100 ÷ $10,000

= 1.6 months

Thin < 2 months · Adequate 2–4 months · Strong 4+ months

8

Gap to target

gap = totalMonthly − monthlyTarget

= $13,300 − $10,000

= +$3,300/mo surplus

Key insight

A pipeline full of low-probability leads looks healthy on paper but is worth a fraction of its face value. Weight by probability before making income plans.
