CEDX Pipeline · Sales & CRM
Pipeline treats the funnel as a motion problem: every stage carries a day target, every card shows its age, and the overview prices the value that has stopped moving — $16.9M of it in the demo workspace.
The board's Verbal column has a day target of zero. A verbal is a promise, not a stage — the product is opinionated about it, on the screen.
Runs on demo data. Vesper Commerce in the chrome is the software's demo workspace, not a customer.
What it is
Five columns — Sourcing, Qualify, Solution, Commercial, Verbal — each with its deal count, dollar total and a target in days: 7, 8, 10, 12, 0. Cards carry their age as a chip; the red 25d on a $358K card is why the column target exists.
The deal list has a PUSHES column — ×1, ×2, the number of times the close date moved — next to IN STAGE days and an amount delta like +22%. A deal pushed twice with 24 days in Verbal reads exactly like what it is.
The forecast's commit-aging table lists every commit deal sitting more than eight days in stage: Vertex Group at 24 days and $430K leads it. These are the deals that embarrass the call — surfaced before the call, not after.
Product tour
Not a mockup and not a concept deck. This is what opens at /app/pipeline.
01 — Pulse
Open pipeline $39.7M, weighted $17.4M, median stage age 7d. The alert list is specific: median 7 days in Commercial against a 12-day target, 116 deals over velocity worth $16.9M, and one conversion step — Solution to Commercial — advancing at 43%.
02 — Board
Fifty cards across five columns, topped by value. The columns carry the discipline: Sourcing targets 7 days, Commercial 12, Verbal 0. Aging chips turn red on the card, so a stalled deal is visible from across the room.
03 — Deals
Every deal, open and closed, with stage, amount, pushes, days in stage, owner and close. Filter to “Changed this week” and 165 rows remain — the funnel moved more this week than most teams realise.
04 — Forecast
Closed won QTD $6.07M, commit $8.78M, best case $23.5M, earlier-stage pipeline $16.2M, and the gap after commit printed as $0 — quota equals won plus commit. Under neath, commit aging names the deals most likely to break that arithmetic.
Who runs it
Roles, not references. We have no named customers yet, so nobody in these photographs is quoted, credited or claimed as one.
Owns the forecast call. Commit aging is the pre-read: the 24-day commit deal gets decided in the room, not discovered in the miss.
commit aging · 24d
Lives on the board. The red age chip on their card is the day's first task — a 25-day-old card in a 10-day column needs a touch or an honest exit.
card age · 25d
Tunes the targets themselves: stage day targets, conversion thresholds, the 43% advance rate the alert fired on. The funnel's physics are theirs to set.
targets · 7–12dThe shape of it
Every figure below is legible in the captures above. Nothing here is a projection of your estate — it is the state of the demo data.
How it runs
Red age chips first. A card past its column's day target gets a touch, a stage exit, or an honest close-lost — sitting is the one move the board makes expensive.
Entered versus exited per stage, weekly. When entries outrun exits at Solution, the funnel is queueing, and the Pulse says so in dollars.
Every close-date move increments the pushes counter. ×2 in Verbal is a conversation with the champion, not a new date.
Before the call, commit aging lists anything eight days or older in stage. The number called is the number those deals can defend.
One record
Pipeline is not a second database. It is the motion view of the same deals the rest of the estate writes against.
The account and deal record underneath the board — health scores, idle days and the forecast locks.
CEDX QuotesA deal entering Commercial is usually a quote in flight; discount guardrails and approvals happen there.
CEDX OutboundThe top of this funnel: sequences and replies that become Sourcing-column cards.
CEDX CommissionsWhen Verbal becomes closed-won, the credited amount on the commission line traces back to the same deal.
Limits
Finding this out on the third call is worse for you than reading it here, and worse for us.

Questions
Yes. Every screenshot is a capture of the running build at /app/pipeline, on demo data. The demo workspace is named in the chrome rather than hidden in a footnote.
A day budget per stage, printed on the board's columns: Sourcing 7, Qualify 8, Solution 10, Commercial 12, Verbal 0. A deal older than its column's budget is over velocity — 116 deals in the demo workspace are, worth $16.9M.
Close-date moves. Each time a deal's close date slips, the counter increments — ×1, ×2 — and sits next to days in stage, so chronic slippage is visible without opening the deal.
No. Pipeline is the motion view of the same deal record CRM keeps — stages, aging and throughput on one side, accounts, health and forecast locks on the other.
No certification has been issued. What we can evidence about hosting, encryption, tenant isolation and production access is written up on the security page.
