Stop drowning in dashboards. Our AI agents pinpoint the few small changes that materially move your revenue number and turn them into a clear order of attack.
Xfactor surfaces the cheat codes hidden in your revenue data.
Because growth isn't missingāitās just hidden. Powered by Causal AI and our RevOps Graph, we reveal how planning and execution cascade through your revenue engine to turn guesswork into engineering outcomes.
Built to uncover what actually moves the number
Xfactor is a causal AI built for CRO and RevOps teams. Instead of reporting on performance, it explains why revenue moves the way it does.
It analyzes cause and effect across your go to market execution and isolates the specific drivers behind outcomes. Those drivers are ranked by impact, so teams know where to focus first.
This is not general purpose AI. Xfactor is purpose built for revenue execution and works directly on your data to produce decisions, not summaries.
Trusted by industries across the country
You donāt have a data problem. You have a noise problem.
Revenue does not usually collapse overnight. It drifts quarter after quarter, and teams do not see why until it is too late to change course.This is the Growth Guess Gap. You are accountable for a number, but you cannot confidently predict or control how the quarter will land. Inside that gap, RevOps turns into firefighting. Pull forwards replace planning. Ramp assumptions replace certainty.
Forecast calls become debates instead of decisions. Because it is unclear what will actually move the number, teams fall back on late stage deal pressure and hope the math works out. By the time the forecast reflects the truth, the outcome is already constrained.
Why firefighting kills strategy
Replaces strategy
When real revenue drivers are hidden, teams slip into firefighting, saving deals, fixing forecasts, and chasing late-stage wins.
Deal-by-deal planning
Without early signals, strategy gives way to guesswork. Leaders manage deals instead of shaping the quarter.
Early insight restores control
Xfactor surfaces critical issues weeks earlier, enabling teams to manage the systemānot scramble over deals.

Sample Report
Based on the current pipeline of 173 opportunities worth $25.7M in total ARR, here’s the realistic forecast assessment using historical win rate patterns:
Expected Revenue: $13.6M (52.8% of pipeline)
Forecast by Deal Type (Risk-Adjusted)
- Renewals: $8.2M expected from $9.7M pipeline (84.6% win rate) – Lowest Risk
- Existing Business: $4.8M expected from $10.5M pipeline (45.4% win rate) – Medium Risk
- New Business: $580K expected from $5.5M pipeline (10.5% win rate) – Highest Risk
Forecast Category Analysis
- Commit (9 deals): $3.6M expected from $3.6M pipeline (100% historical accuracy)
- Best Case (29 deals): $4.4M expected from $7.8M pipeline (58% historical accuracy)
- Pipeline (135 deals): $7.4M expected from $14.3M pipeline (51.5% historical accuracy)
Critical Risks with 18 Days Remaining
Immediate Concerns:
- Federal Defense Project ($6.1M) – 759-day sales cycle in government procurement suggests unlikely to close this month
- Tier 1 Global Bank Renewal ($2.5M) – Still in “Not Contacted” stage despite being a renewal
- 78% of pipeline ($19.7M) lacks proper forecast categorization, indicating poor forecast discipline
Revenue Gap Analysis
- FY2026 Target: $22.8M
- Expected Pipeline Close: $13.6M
- Remaining Gap: $9.2M (40.5% shortfall)
Given only 18 days remaining, the organization faces a significant revenue shortfall. The forecast accuracy crisis identified in the insight – with only 0.2% of deals having proper forecast categories – makes reliable prediction nearly impossible.
Immediate Actions Required
- Focus on Renewals: Prioritize the $9.7M renewal pipeline with 84.6% historical win rate
- Triage Large Deals: Assess realistic close probability for deals >$1.1M given time constraints
- Implement Emergency Forecast Discipline: Require immediate forecast category updates for all open deals
- Deploy Top Performers: Leverage reps with 90%+ win rates (like Top Enterprise Rep) for critical deal assistance
The pipeline shows potential but requires immediate action to maximize revenue recovery in the final 18 days of FY2026.

Sample Report
Based on comprehensive analysis of 3,917 renewal opportunities and 1,060 expansion deals, The Company faces significant challenges in customer retention and expansion that directly impact the 77.5% net revenue retention rate and contribute to the broader revenue capacity crisis.
Executive Summary: Retention & Expansion Performance
Your customer success and expansion efforts show mixed performance with critical execution gaps. While renewal rates improve with deal size (68.2% for large deals), expansion success rates decline dramatically as deals get larger (21.1% for large expansions). This inverse relationship indicates systematic execution challenges in expansion sales that limit growth potential.

Pipeline Forecast
Based on the current pipeline of 173 opportunities worth $25.7M in total ARR, here’s the realistic forecast assessment using historical win rate patterns:
Expected Revenue: $13.6M (52.8% of pipeline)
Forecast by Deal Type (Risk-Adjusted)
- Renewals: $8.2M expected from $9.7M pipeline (84.6% win rate) – Lowest Risk
- Existing Business: $4.8M expected from $10.5M pipeline (45.4% win rate) – Medium Risk
- New Business: $580K expected from $5.5M pipeline (10.5% win rate) – Highest Risk
Forecast Category Analysis
- Commit (9 deals): $3.6M expected from $3.6M pipeline (100% historical accuracy)
- Best Case (29 deals): $4.4M expected from $7.8M pipeline (58% historical accuracy)
- Pipeline (135 deals): $7.4M expected from $14.3M pipeline (51.5% historical accuracy)
Critical Risks with 18 Days Remaining
Immediate Concerns:
- Federal Defense Project ($6.1M) – 759-day sales cycle in government procurement suggests unlikely to close this month
- Tier 1 Global Bank Renewal ($2.5M) – Still in “Not Contacted” stage despite being a renewal
- 78% of pipeline ($19.7M) lacks proper forecast categorization, indicating poor forecast discipline
Revenue Gap Analysis
- FY2026 Target: $22.8M
- Expected Pipeline Close: $13.6M
- Remaining Gap: $9.2M (40.5% shortfall)
Given only 18 days remaining, the organization faces a significant revenue shortfall. The forecast accuracy crisis identified in the insight – with only 0.2% of deals having proper forecast categories – makes reliable prediction nearly impossible.
Immediate Actions Required
- Focus on Renewals: Prioritize the $9.7M renewal pipeline with 84.6% historical win rate
- Triage Large Deals: Assess realistic close probability for deals >$1.1M given time constraints
- Implement Emergency Forecast Discipline: Require immediate forecast category updates for all open deals
- Deploy Top Performers: Leverage reps with 90%+ win rates (like Top Enterprise Rep) for critical deal assistance
The pipeline shows potential but requires immediate action to maximize revenue recovery in the final 18 days of FY2026.
