See every opportunity at once.
Deals orbit you by closeness to close. Prospects sit as ambient constellation. The Opportunity Orbit shows the whole pipeline as one explorable view, from a 1000-foot read of the quarter down to a single deal’s next move. The pipeline visualisation designed for relationship-led work, not transactional sales.
Currency, probability, every open deal in one canvas. £3.1M of revenue in motion, fifteen opportunities open, the four red bubbles needing attention this week.
Funnels assume linear motion. Real deals don’t.
The kanban board with stage columns is fine for SDR-led pipelines where deals move predictably left to right. Consulting and agency deals don’t. A deal can sit in qualification for six months, then close in four weeks once the right stakeholder unlocks. Stage tells you almost nothing.
What matters in relationship-led work is closeness to close, measured in time, not in stage progression. Opportunity Orbit visualises that directly. Distance from centre is months to close. Inner ring is the next 30 days. Outer ring is six months out. The shape of your pipeline becomes obvious at a glance.
What you actually see.
Deals closing this quarter
The deals you’re actively working to close. Bigger circles for higher-value deals. Colour intensity for higher win probability. The shape of the inner orbit tells you whether the quarter is concentrated or thin.
Pipeline depth
Mid and long-horizon deals on the outer rings. The depth of these orbits forecasts the next two quarters. A thin outer orbit today is the warning of a thin pipeline three months from now.
Prospects in ambient view
People in your network matching your ICP who could become deals. They brighten when signals strengthen, job change, hiring, content engagement. When you start a deal with one, they move into the orbital rings.
Two views, one pipeline.
Kanban (board view) is still there. The two views show the same deals in different visual structures: kanban for stage progression, Orbit for closeness and relationship density. Most consultants use kanban as the daily working view and Orbit for weekly review, monthly forecasting, and stakeholder updates.
Daily operations
Move cards through stages. Working view. Best for quick stage updates and per-deal action focus.
Weekly review & forecasting
Whole-pipeline shape. Best for spotting concentration risk, gaps in the next quarter, and pipeline depth issues before they bite.
Same data, switchable
One click between views. Same deals, same numbers. Different question being answered. Use whichever fits the moment.
For relationship-led businesses.
Quarter shape, not column count
You don’t care if a deal is in “Discovery” or “Proposal”. You care whether it’s a 30-day deal or a 6-month deal. The Orbit answers that immediately.
One pipeline across portfolios
Your fractional engagements all generate deals. The Orbit aggregates them into one view filtered by portfolio, the only place your full forward book is visible at once.
The shape of the agency’s next year
Agency principals describe the Orbit as the first pipeline view that matches how they actually think about the agency’s forward book. Concentrated near term + thin long term = a problem visible in seconds.
