Audit fundraising pipeline integrity

Audit a fundraising pipeline as point-in-time evidence rather than CRM theater: reconstruct monotone stage events, terminal status and primary proceeds, retain open opportunities as censored, reject forecasts made after resolution, detect duplicate active investor accounts, and gate the portfolio on mature-forecast support, Brier loss and calibration gap.

What it's for

Makes a board fundraising pipeline auditable: leaders can see whether reported stage, proceeds and close probabilities were genuinely point-in-time and calibrated before runway decisions depend on them.

How it works

Forecasting & survival — Estimate when something completes or fails, with censoring and unresolved work handled honestly rather than dropped.

  1. 1 Freeze the stage taxonomy, as-of date, immutable stage events, terminal outcomes, actual primary proceeds and the close-probability forecast that existed before each outcome.
  2. 2 Reconstruct each opportunity, checking entry stage, strict event time, forward stage progression, active/terminal consistency, primary-proceeds identity, evidence and duplicate live investor accounts.
  3. 3 Label won or lost opportunities at their declared forecast horizon, retain not-yet-mature active cases as censored, then calculate Brier loss, calibration-in-the-large and fixed probability-bin reliability before applying support and quality gates.

Before you trust it

Every tool in the catalog ships with the conditions under which its answer is meaningful — and the conditions under which it should abstain instead of guessing.

Assumptions & guardrails

  • Training examples precede their outcomes, censoring and unresolved work are represented, and deployment populations remain comparable to validation cohorts.
  • Investor-account identity is stable; stage semantics did not change inside the evaluation epoch; every eligible opportunity including losses and open cases is retained; forecasts are immutable pre-resolution snapshots; won proceeds mean company primary cash rather than secondary consideration.
  • A predictive interval or risk estimate is not a deadline promise, causal explanation, or individual-performance judgment.
  • A failed row or forecast diagnoses the aggregate fundraising data/model, not an investor's intent, quality or likelihood to invest. It is not securities, solicitation, valuation, legal or financing-availability advice.

Minimum evidence

  • opportunities: at least 1 rows/items
  • stage_order: at least 2 rows/items
  • as_of_day: required and organization-defined

How to validate it

Use chronological train/calibration/test windows, compare proper scores and decision value with a simple baseline, and recalibrate only from outcomes resolved after prediction time.

Calibrating it to your org

Same for everyone

The mathematical kernel, validation rules, method version, and JSON output semantics are organization-independent; no tenant-trained coefficients or company benchmark is embedded in the function.

Specific to you

  • point-in-time fundraising opportunity spine joining every eligible live and terminal opportunity to versioned stage events, immutable probability snapshots and finance-reconciled primary cash without dropping losses or censored cases
  • opportunity/account deduplication, stage taxonomy and epoch, eligible pipeline perimeter, terminal and censoring semantics, forecast version/horizon, primary-versus-secondary proceeds, evidence, as-of date, Brier/calibration/support gates and review ownership

Calibration workflow

  1. 1 Define the management decision, target outcome, aggregate unit, privacy boundary, cadence, and prediction/intervention horizon for this organization.
  2. 2 Build a tenant-scoped historical cohort using only information available before each prediction or decision; preserve zero periods, censoring, assignment probabilities, and unresolved outcomes when the method requires them.
  3. 3 Estimate statistical parameters on training history, but obtain costs, utilities, risk tolerance, practical-effect thresholds, capacity, and policy constraints from accountable decision owners.
  4. 4 Validate on later time windows or held-out aggregate units at the deployment grain, against a simple baseline and the function-specific validation strategy.
  5. 5 Deploy only if the returned decision clears evidence, overlap, calibration, robustness, and guardrail checks; warning, unsupported, schema-gap, and fallback decisions are abstentions.
  6. 6 Monitor realized outcomes, data drift, coverage, and decision regret; recalibrate at a governed cadence or after a detected regime/definition change, never merely because a stakeholder dislikes the result.

Call it from your AI

You don't wire up 388 tools in your MCP client. The GitRevio MCP server exposes 18 tools, three of which let an agent search the catalog, read a tool's schema, and run it — so the assistant finds this one on its own.

gitrevio_capabilities_search
  { "q": "audit a fundraising pipeline as pointintime" }
  → finds "audit_fundraising_pipeline_integrity"

gitrevio_capability_describe
  { "capability_id": "audit_fundraising_pipeline_integrity" }
  → returns the input schema and agent guidance shown on this page

gitrevio_capability_run
  { "capability_id": "audit_fundraising_pipeline_integrity", "arguments": { ... } }
  → returns the result shown above
