1 · The 5-Stage Pipeline Gate Model

Every opportunity enters the pipeline at Stage 1 and must clear each gate to advance. A failure at any gate sends the opportunity back to the previous stage with a documented remediation plan. No opportunity bypasses a gate — this is the DEFONEOS procurement discipline.

TOTAL9£24,700,000£6,140,000

Note: Addressable total (£24.7M) is less than the headline £38.2M because the £13.5M delta is reserved for opportunistic pursuits that will emerge once DSP registration and SC clearance are complete. Weighted pipeline uses calibrated win probabilities per opportunity.

4 · Win-Probability Calibration Methodology

Win probabilities are calibrated against 5 named factors, each scored 0-10:

Calibrated probability = (sovereign-fit × 0.25 + capability × 0.20 + relationship × 0.20 + compliance × 0.20 + competitive × 0.15) × 0.1, floored at 5%, capped at 75% (no opportunity is above 75% until a bid is submitted).

5 · Owner-Gate Dependencies

The single highest-leverage action Nick can take: Register on the Defence Sourcing Portal (30 min). This unblocks Opportunities 1, 5, and partially 4, 6, 9 — representing £18,600,000 addressable (75% of the pipeline).
