Roles

See roles page.

Customer

A customer is an organization with a Sourcegraph subscription contract that has not ended.

1. We can only publicly mention the names of customers who have explicitly agreed to be referenceable.
   • Customers mentioned on about.sourcegraph.com (by logo and/or case study) are referenceable.
   • If in doubt about whether another customer is referenceable by name, ask in #sales.
2. If an organization’s contract will start in the future, they are still considered a customer. (This can happen when we agree to have a contract start on the next 1st of the month because that makes life easier for a customer, for example.)

Open pipeline

Open pipeline is the sum of all Opportunities that are in Stage 1 or greater, for a specific time period.

Qualified pipeline

Qualified pipeline is the sum of all Opportunities that are in Stage 2 or greater, for a specific time period.

Weighted pipeline

Weighted pipeline is the sum of all Opportunity iARR values, multiplied by the probability % by associated stage.

Win rate

Win rate is the percentage of deals closed that were Closed Won (the prospect converted to a paying customer).

Calculation: # of deals closed won / (# of deals closed won + # of qualified deals closed lost)

Close rate

Close rate is the ratio of deals that were Closed Won to deals qualified within the same period.

Calculation: # of deals closed won / # of deals qualified in the period
