Pipeline nobody builds this week is revenue missing in 6 weeks. The bleed shows up late, which is why open seats drift.
What this assumes
- Quota coverage is spread evenly across the year (annual quota / 52).
- A new hire ramps linearly to full productivity over 4 months, so roughly half the ramp period's coverage is lost.
- Pipeline not generated this week becomes revenue missing ~6 weeks from now (your sales cycle), so the bleed shows up late.
- Every number above is computed from what you entered. Nothing is a market statistic.
