Deals Won Value
Total dollar value of all opportunities closed-won during the period — the period's realized bookings from the pipeline motion. Reconciles to (sales.new_business + sales.expansion) when split by deal type. Common pitfall: reporting TCV (total contract value) here when the rest of the dashboard uses ACV — pick one and apply it consistently across closed_won_value, weighted_forecast, and pipeline_value, or the dashboard math stops reconciling. — Sales KPI, I'mBoard-authored (editorial tier).

Definition
Total dollar value of all opportunities closed-won during the period — the period's realized bookings from the pipeline motion. Reconciles to (sales.new_business + sales.expansion) when split by deal type. Common pitfall: reporting TCV (total contract value) here when the rest of the dashboard uses ACV — pick one and apply it consistently across closed_won_value, weighted_forecast, and pipeline_value, or the dashboard math stops reconciling.
Formula
Closed-Won Value = Σ (deal_value) across opportunities that transitioned to closed-won in the period. The "deal_value" convention (TCV vs ACV) must match the pipeline-tracking convention for the math to reconcile.Why it matters
Realized bookings — the period's actual sales output. Sum across periods should reconcile to total new-customer + expansion CARR additions; gaps indicate either revenue-recognition policy or stage-data-quality issues.
How to interpret
Closed-Won Value / Quota gives the period's attainment percentage — > 100% is over-plan, 80–100% is the typical "acceptable" band, < 80% triggers the post-mortem cycle. Read alongside Win Rate to identify whether misses are pipeline-driven (low value but normal win rate) or execution-driven (normal value, depressed win rate).
Calculation policy
How an AI agent should compute this KPI from messy company data. Free-text rules consumed at reasoning time — not a deterministic DSL. The most common ways to get this wrong are listed under Common miscomputations.
Inclusion rules
- Σ deal_value across opportunities that transitioned to closed-won in the period — the realized bookings from the pipeline motion.
- Use ONE value convention (TCV or ACV) and apply it consistently with
sales.pipeline_valueandsales.weighted_forecast.
Exclusion rules
- Closed-lost value (see
sales.closed_lost_value). - Recognized or invoiced revenue — closed-won value is bookings (signed), NOT earned revenue (
sales.total_revenue) and NOT an annualized run-rate (sales.arr). - Re-opened-then-re-won double counts.
Required inputs
- Closed-won opportunities with deal_value and close date.
- The value convention (TCV vs ACV) in force.
Data-source priority
- CRM closed-won report for the period.
- Finance bookings ledger as a cross-check.
Edge cases
- TCV-vs-ACV: pick one — reporting TCV here while the rest of the dashboard is ACV breaks reconciliation.
- Multi-year deals: the convention decides whether the full TCV or the annualized value lands on this line.
- When split by deal type, closed-won value reconciles to
sales.new_business+sales.expansion(the live-ARR subset). Cross-reference those already-hardened ARR-movement lines; do NOT restate their waterfall here.
Validation checks
- closed_won_value ≥ 0.
- Sum across periods reconciles to total new-customer + expansion CARR additions; persistent gaps indicate revenue-recognition policy or stage-data-quality issues.
- closed_won_value / quota = the period attainment percentage.
Common miscomputations
- Reporting TCV here while using ACV elsewhere — breaks the dashboard math.
- Conflating closed-won bookings with recognized revenue (
sales.total_revenue) or with the ARR run-rate (sales.arr). - Double-counting re-opened / re-won deals.
- Duplicating the ARR-movement waterfall (
sales.new_business/sales.expansion) on this line instead of cross-referencing it.

Deals Won
Count of opportunities that reached closed-won status during the period — the volume side of the period's sales output. Paired with closed_won_value gives the period's average won-deal size, a critical mix-shift indicator. Common pitfall: counting opportunity stage transitions rather than discrete deal closes (re-opened deals inflate the count). Boards read the trend over 4+ quarters to detect motion-volume stability — sharp drops while pipeline holds usually mean late-stage conversion has broken. — Sales KPI, I'mBoard-authored (editorial tier).
Competitive Alerts
Narrative read on competitive dynamics affecting the sales motion — material wins / losses to specific competitors, observed pricing or packaging moves in the market, new entrants, M&A in the competitive set. Boards use this surface to bring outside intelligence (their other portfolio companies, advisors) to bear on the competitive picture. Common pitfall: listing competitor names without quantifying how often they show up in deal cycles — a "Competitor X is being aggressive" entry without "we saw them in 8 of 20 active deals last quarter, up from 3 of 18" is too vague to act on. — Sales KPI, I'mBoard-authored (editorial tier).
