Two leaks, one bucket: dark-funnel demand you never see, and pipeline you saw but stalled. Different problems, both unmeasured.
Revenue leaks in two distinct places. Demand that's there but invisible to you (dark social, AI shortlists, peer referrals). And pipeline you sourced but never closed (stalled deals, ghosted champions, late-stage no-decisions). Most orgs measure neither — and conflate them when they try.

No closed-lost loop back into marketing
