Q3 FY26 commit £38m sits £6m below the £44m plan — £14m of best-case upside must convert to make the number. Coverage is 5.6x on £248m of pipeline; the call is winnable but only if the at-risk upside is forced to close.

Why we win & lose

£-win-rate 73% · £93m won vs £34m lost

Clone the win reasons into low-win families; attack the top loss reason first.

Why we win
Design / craft quality & heritage£44m · 168
Designer relationship / showroom service£31m · 121
Breadth across houses (one source)£18m · 74
Why we lose
Price£16m · 62
Lead time too long£11m · 38
Range / colourway gap£7m · 21

Read it: design / craft quality & heritage wins the most (£44m); Price is the top loss (£16m) — tighten discount discipline (see Quote / Order 360) before chasing new demand.
