On the ROI Tensor
Dynamic value segmentation
Every stage writes its governed values — BAU, Goal, Projected, Actual, each with source, confidence and evidence — into the ROI Tensor. The tensor segments that value dynamically, so it can be sliced any way a CRO needs and reported in Salesforce.

Salesforce dimensions — how the CRO reports it
AccountOpportunitySellerSolutionStageQuarter
Slice governed value by any combination of these dimensions — dynamically — and report the value pipeline against the ARR pipeline in Salesforce. Commercial value and customer value stay separate; external signals may explain drift, but never rewrite a governed number.
One canonical value ID
A single business_case_id threads every stage — so the value story never breaks between reports.
WebROI is the sole authority
Each stage persists a verified, hashed snapshot — never recalculated, never hand-edited.
Individually reportable
Every stage stays its own artifact — renewals and replays reference predecessors, never overwrite them.
WebROI sells. ROI Replay retains.
The first four stages win the deal on projected value; the last three prove it — and defend every renewal.
