1.1Prerequisites Checklist

• Contact and Company records unified

• Unified Revenue View at Foundation milestone or beyond
• Deal pipeline using Path to Value stages

1.2Current State Audit

Complete this assessment before configuring anything. Understanding your current state across all three dimensions helps prioritize implementation and measure progress.

Relationship Intelligence: How do you identify at-risk accounts? How do you spot expansion opportunities? How do successful approaches spread across teams? How long does it take to answer a strategic question?

Operational Forecasting: How do you know how many resources to have ready? How do you forecast hiring needs? How do you predict cash flow timing? How do you balance capacity vs. demand?

External Context: How do you track competitor activity? How do you know when market conditions shift? How do you access buyer intent data? How do you factor economic indicators?

1.3Scope Decision

Not all three dimensions are equally urgent for every organization. Start with Relationship Intelligence if strategic questions take days or weeks to answer and tribal knowledge is trapped in key people's heads. Start with Operational Forecasting if resource planning is disconnected from pipeline and you're surprised by capacity constraints after deals close. Start with External Context if you're blindsided by competitor moves or market shifts.

Recommended sequence: Relationship Intelligence first (get value from the UCV + URV data you've already unified), Operational Forecasting second (connect revenue visibility to resource planning), External Context third (layer market intelligence onto your foundation).

1.4Business Model Considerations

Different business models emphasize different UBC dimensions. SaaS/Subscription leans on churn prediction and expansion signals; Professional Services on project risk patterns and utilization planning; Manufacturing/Distribution on order pattern changes and inventory planning; Field Service on service quality patterns and technician capacity.
