Sieves provides a unique approach to planning, projecting, presenting, measuring, and adapting your sales approaches and cash flows.

Step by step: Each step of the sales process is described in a level of detail adequate to show how the unit economics works as a function of time and a range of likelihood of success.
Project: Results project how costs will encur and sales will occur over time, providing a cash flow analyusis that tells you, among other things, how much cash you will need and when you will need it.
Present: Results (in the for-fee version) include graphs that show how much cash you will need and when under different execution plans, including personnel requirements, and the envelope of projected outcomes depending on how effective you are at each step.
Measure: During execution, you can measure each step's actual performance against projected performance, adapt the metrics for updated projections, and identify when things are going wrong before the end of the sales cycle.
Adapt: Testing different sieves and adaptations supports adapting your processes before things go wrong, and systematic improvement.

You can run the free version with limited features below, and watch the video to see an example of how it is used.

Explanation

The mechanism used here for projections is a unit cost and revenue model intended to show an envelope of outcomes for a process in which money is spent to produce sales in a sequence of steps, each narrowing (or expanding) the number of customers, encurring unit costs, taking amounts of time, and ultimately producing outcomes. The columns shown are:

Step	This describes the step in the process. It is assumed that all steps must take place
Time (D/H/M/S)	The time (in Days / Hrs / Mins / Sec) to perform the step and total time through completion of this step
Min < Quantity > Max	The minimum, expected, and maximum number of customers reaching this point in the process.
$/ea	The cost per customer of performing this step (including the time costs).
Time/ea	The time spent (in Days / Hours / Mins / Sec) per customer for performing this step.
Min < Cash Flow > Max	The range of costs or revenue spent or received at this step.
Min < [D/H/M/S] > Max	The range of total time spent (in Days / Hours / Mins / Sec) to this step and total.
Success %	The expected rate at which customers at this step go on to the next step.
+/-	The likely variation in expected rate of customers going on to the next step.
Min < Left > Max	The range of the number of customers left after this step.
Note	This is a description of this step, with brief justification for the costs/revenue.

Add step: adds another row to the sieve.
Refresh: recalculates and redisplays updates.
Save: saves the current sieve for later loading.
Load: clears and the loads the last saved sieve.
Clear: empties the sieve so you can start again.

In each input row:
✓ OR ✗: This row is ✓ (or not ✗) shown and calculated in the output area
⛔: Deletes this row never to return, except if you Save it just before and then use Load
↘: Move this row down one (note recalculation of Quantity field becomes new input)
↗: Move this row up one (note recalculation of Quantity field becomes new input)
