One idea, three depths
Choose how deeply to explain Required win rate
Required win rate: Calculate the opportunity win rate needed to close a remaining revenue target.
Age 5Explain it to a 5-year-oldStart with a picture
Imagine using Required win rate to answer this question: calculate the opportunity win rate needed to close a remaining revenue target? Enter Revenue target, Revenue already closed, Qualified opportunities remaining, and 1 other input; the calculator shows Required win rate. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Required win rate. The answer tells you Required win rate.
Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
The estimate assumes comparable deal sizes and enough qualified opportunities; timing and pipeline quality still matter. The rule is Required wins = remaining revenue ÷ average deal value. Its input values are Revenue target, Revenue already closed, Qualified opportunities remaining, Average deal value, and the main result is Required win rate. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Required win rate.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This tool models one operating decision from explicitly supplied company assumptions. The implemented relation is Required wins = remaining revenue ÷ average deal value, evaluated from Revenue target, Revenue already closed, Qualified opportunities remaining, Average deal value to produce Required win rate. The estimate assumes comparable deal sizes and enough qualified opportunities; timing and pipeline quality still matter. The model omits unentered taxes, cash timing, legal constraints and market uncertainty. Compare the output with company records and a downside scenario before committing resources.
The decision this tool supports
Calculate the opportunity win rate needed to close a remaining revenue target.
Why the business model works
The estimate assumes comparable deal sizes and enough qualified opportunities; timing and pipeline quality still matter.
Inputs and operating assumptions
This model uses Revenue target (at least 0), Revenue already closed (at least 0), Qualified opportunities remaining (at least 0.01), Average deal value (at least 0.01). Keep currencies, accounting treatment and time periods consistent with one another.
The formula
Required wins = remaining revenue ÷ average deal value
What the calculator produces
The primary output is Required win rate; it also exposes Required wins, Remaining revenue, Maximum available revenue. Change one assumption at a time so the comparison remains explainable.
Before using the result in a decision
This compact model cannot capture every tax, accounting, legal, market or operational condition. Compare the output with current company records, cash timing and the downside scenario before committing resources.
