The planning number is not the pipeline and not the forecast. It is the portion of the probability-weighted forecast that is backed by governance evidence (composite ≥ 75), landing in this month, corrected by the engine's own measured accuracy over the trailing six months. When the engine's record improves, the correction earns its way toward 1.0. It is never scaled above it.

Reconciliation closes the loop that forecasting tools leave open. What was promised at month open is compared against what actually landed, and the result feeds the trailing RAR that corrects next month's planning number. The unscheduled booking is a feature, not a rounding error: revenue that arrives outside the calendar is a governance signal, and it is tracked, not absorbed.

Unassured · 72→45
Quantum Retail is the row a CRM report never shows you. Raw governance composite 72, but its close date expired five weeks ago, so an eligibility gate capped it at 45 and the statement refuses to place R680,000 in any month. One credible close-date update returns it to the calendar; until then it is assured-adjacent revenue with no landing month, and pretending otherwise is how forecasts break. Partial-tier deals appear as a stretch line and are never included in the planning number.
Section C · Engine accuracy · planned vs booked, trailing six months
Planning number at month openBooked · Closed Won
Six consecutive months of the statement keeping its promise within 7 points. This is the trailing record that produces the RAR 0.94 correction applied to August, and it is the difference between a forecast and an assurance: the engine's accuracy is measured against reality every month, on an immutable ledger, and disclosed on the statement itself.
Why a CFO can defend this number
Evidence, not sentiment
Every rand in the planning number traces to a deal with a composite governance score ≥ 75, decomposable into six inspectable dimensions. Ask why any deal is on the calendar and the statement answers with specifics.
Immutable once issued
The statement is snapshotted to an append-only ledger on the 1st. Month-end reconciliation runs against the issued numbers. Nothing is quietly restated, ever.
Self-correcting
Every month's booked-vs-planned result updates the trailing RAR. The engine's confidence is earned from its own track record, disclosed on every statement, and capped at 1.0 by design.
One number per month, earned from your pipeline.
The Monthly Assurance Statement lands on the 1st, reconciles itself at month end, and shows its own accuracy record. Read-only CRM connection, first statement within 24 hours.
