Revenue Engineering
Make Your Revenue andValuation Defensible.
MxM Revenue Engineering makes your forecast board-defensible before the board asks why forecast and actuals diverged. Built for B2B SaaS companies at $5M-$50M ARR.
When forecast and actuals diverge, the board will ask why. MxM installs the controls that close the gap before they do.
Built by an operator with 20+ years inside Microsoft, HPE, and Philips revenue systems across 19 markets.

Who This Is For
For B2B SaaS companies around $5M–$50M ARR where revenue reporting has outgrown informal controls.
Especially relevant when board questions are getting sharper around forecast accuracy, pipeline quality, CRM hygiene, billing alignment, or whether the company's data is ready for AI-assisted decisions.
For deeper validation, the paid Scorecard is a fixed-fee audit from $8,500, delivered in 10 days, using CSV or anonymized exports. Designed for $5M–$50M ARR SaaS teams.
Not sure if the Scorecard is the right next step? Book a 30-minute pre-engagement call. We'll walk through what we'd look at in your specific situation and how the Scorecard hands off into Controls Install if the audit finds material gaps.
// The Diagnosis
Most SaaS companies scale on Hope, not Math.
Every quarter, someone walks into the room and the number changes. Not because the pipeline changed. Because the conversation did.
That is forecast by negotiation.
79% of sales organizations miss their forecast by more than 10% (SiriusDecisions research, via Forrester). The median misses by 15–25% (Optifai Sales Ops Benchmark, 287 B2B companies, 2025). The Revenue Integrity Scorecard names exactly where your version of that miss is hiding.

Built for the team rebuilding the forecast deck at midnight
You are not early enough for loose pipeline hygiene anymore. And you are not mature enough to absorb another missed forecast as “normal.”
MxM is built for sales-led B2B SaaS teams, usually between $5M and $50M ARR, where one missed forecast has become a recurring board-cycle problem.
CRM says one thing. Finance says another. The bank account tells a third story. Before every board meeting, the team burns hours reconciling numbers that should have agreed before the deck was opened.
For founders, CROs, CFOs, and RevOps leaders who have lived that cycle, MxM installs the control system that makes the forecast board-defensible before the next quarterly cycle.
We reconcile, not advise.
// The Dashboard Problem
Most companies that hire us already have good tooling.
They can see the number. They cannot explain it, defend it, or change it before it becomes a miss.
Dashboard
Reports on what happened.
↓
Controls
Govern what is allowed to happen.
| Internal RevOps | RevOps Agency | MxM Controls System | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary metric | Operating velocity | Delivery throughput | Forecast accuracy |
| Incentive | Keep the number moving | Complete the workstream | Test the number |
| Outcome | Dashboard theater | Manual workarounds | Board-defensible revenue |
RevOps reporting on the pipeline they helped build is like asking the driver to be the speed camera. The issue is not skill. It is independence.
// WHAT WE TYPICALLY FIND
The patterns repeat. The numbers change.
The ghost deal problem
Your pipeline report shows healthy coverage. Reps update close dates when asked. Nobody is lying. The math just never matches what you see at quarter-end.
Coverage sits at 3.4x. Your win rate is 22%, which means you need 4.5x to close the quarter. Nobody flags the delta until week 11. At that point the quarter is gone and the pipeline fix is someone else's problem.
What we find
No stage-exit criteria. Reps set their own close dates and the system accepts whatever they enter. Deals that should have been retired months ago are still counting toward coverage.

// The Process
From scattered inputs to a defensible forecast
PHASE 01
You share what you already have.
CRM exports, forecast snapshots, billing records, board deck inputs, pipeline history. No new system. No long implementation. Just the records behind the number.
No PII. No API access. CSV exports only.
Phase 01 preview
W11 / 13
Week-11 PCR and unretired quota snapshot with segment controls exposed before the board package is built.
- PCR 2.3x vs goal 7.1x
- Closed to date $409K
- Pipe. Gen. target $2.5M
PHASE 02
We check where the story breaks.
MxM Revenue Engineering compares the forecast narrative against the operating data behind it. Where stage logic is weak. Where renewals drift. Where manual reporting creates exposure. Where the board question will likely land.
Phase 02 preview
+/-$140K
CRM, billing, and bank deltas are reconciled into a single before-and-after control view.
- MAPE down to 7.5%
- 14 ghost deals removed
- 9 stage drifts flagged
PHASE 03
You get a validation priority list.
Not another dashboard. A clear view of which numbers are defensible, which assumptions need support, and which risks should be addressed before the board asks why.
Phase 03 preview
±4.2%
Forecast and actuals governed by the same control logic. The band narrows quarter over quarter as pipeline hygiene holds.

Before the first call
Revenue Engineering is the operating discipline that connects governed pipeline data, stage-exit controls, forecast integrity, and AI-ready GTM workflows into one Revenue Control System. MxM applies it as a governance discipline, not a job title or a software product: the Scorecard diagnoses missing controls, the Controls Install closes them, and Governance keeps them stable.
Big 4 advisory typically starts from a blank-slate framework and builds a report over several months. MxM Revenue Engineering runs a structured diagnostic against your actual CRM, billing, and forecast data and delivers board-ready findings in 10 days.
The Scorecard is a structured audit report covering maturity level, control gaps, cost of broken forecasting, and board-reporting traceability. A sample is available to review before any commitment.
You do. MxM Revenue Engineering works from CSV or anonymized exports only: no system access, no API connections. Data is used only to produce the Scorecard and is not retained after delivery.
No. The readiness check requires no data at all. The paid Scorecard uses CSV or anonymized exports. No API access, no CRM credentials, no system integration.
The Revenue Integrity Scorecard is MxM's fixed-fee diagnostic engagement. It tests 20 revenue controls across five operating dimensions, including stage-exit evidence, forecast governance, and booking-to-cash reconciliation, using CSV exports from your CRM, billing, and finance systems. The output is a ranked list of control gaps with a recommended fix order, not a presentation.
Fixed-fee pricing means the scope is defined before any work begins. You know what you are getting, what it costs, and when it arrives. No scope creep, no ambiguous invoices.
The Scorecard identifies gaps. Controls Install addresses the underlying operating checks if material gaps are found. Governance maintains the system afterward. Each engagement is scoped separately, and findings can be handed off to an internal team if that is the preferred path.
MxM Revenue Engineering is not a RevOps implementation role. The Scorecard tests whether existing revenue systems produce board-defensible outputs. It works alongside RevOps, not instead of it.
MxM Revenue Engineering is designed for B2B SaaS companies around $5M–$50M ARR where revenue reporting has outgrown informal controls. Companies outside this range may still be a fit. The 30-minute pre-engagement call is the right place to check.
The board does not just want the forecast. It wants to know how it moved.
The readiness check shows where your revenue numbers are likely to break under that question. The Scorecard validates it against your actual CRM, billing, forecast, and board reporting.
