Know where you'll land. Steer before you don't.
Beacon turns your sealed plan into a live answer to one question — are we on plan? — for the whole company, every KPI, every day. The moment a gap forms you see it, with the move that closes it attached. While the quarter's still open.
You find out you're off plan when it's too late to fix.
Every target, and the plan to reach it.
Every KPI on every dashboard shows the same three things: where it is, where it's headed, and the gap to its target. Pick one.
Revenue
BehindIllustrative — your numbers, your plan. Hover any point for the read.
The $960k isn't a mystery. It has a name.
Beacon traces the gap to the exact revenue line, the team, and the person who owns it — so you know who to talk to, and about what. Every other line is on plan; the whole gap sits in one.
Illustrative — where each revenue line lands against its share of this year's $14.0M new-ARR plan, at today's pace. The gap has one name against it: mid-market new business. Renewals and retention carry forward on their own $38.1M base — not part of what this year has to win, so not on this board.
One alert. Two problems. They don't get the same answer.
The moment drift forms, Beacon traces it to its causes, prices each one, and names who closes it. Two problems showed up in the same week — one is Command's to fix, one belongs to Capacity. You steer while the quarter's still open, and the second problem never becomes the answer to the first.
Mid-market carries $8.0M of this year's $14.0M new-ARR plan. In week three it is running 12% behind that number — $960k. The demand campaign under-produced. Not pricing, not churn.
Week twelve, when the close finally shows it: $1.4M in discounts to hold the quarter. Same problem, nine weeks later.
Move $380k into mid-market demand. Recovers about eight of the twelve points by February. No cash impact — it is budget you already hold, pointed somewhere else.
From October the plan funds nine AEs and eight are in seat — one short. That hire slipped to November.
$3.4M of pipeline nobody covers. Not a hire you didn't make — work that stops getting done, on accounts that are already there.
Pull the AE back to October. It costs $150k of runway — 22.0 to 21.7 months. The 12-month floor holds either way.
Beacon surfaces the second problem here because drift is where a capacity shortfall first becomes visible. It names it and hands it over — it never solves it on this screen, and it never lets hiring become the answer to a demand problem.
Ask in plain words. Get a move, not a chart.
Every number, plan and target is one question away, from any tool. Beacon answers from the same sealed plan the company runs on, names the cause, and plays the move forward so you see the full effect before you commit. It recommends; you decide.
