Modeled annual value$37.3M$702.3M from the $665M forecast

The $37.3M planning model adds $10M to the original $27.3M estimate: 60% to NRR, 15% to AE bookings and 25% to SQOs. Applied to the $665M no-Swan forecast, it models $702.3M. These are required targets, not verified results.

The bridge to plan.

Your number marks a figure only AppsFlyer has. The revised model retains the $585M installed base and $50M new-logo base pending confirmation. Driver lifts are required planning assumptions, not validated benchmarks. Percentages are rounded for display; calculations use unrounded values. Add your numbers →

02Where the value comes from

Three North Stars. No double counting.

Each dollar is counted once. AE lift applies to the original new-logo base; SQO value includes conversion only on added SQOs. Together, new-logo ARR rises 27.4%.

Why AEs can work the extra SQOs. Swan takes the admin off their plate and is proactive about next steps, so reps hold less context in their heads and carry more opportunities.

Leadership chooses how to use the lift: more output from the same team, or the plan with fewer hires.

03How Swan moves revenue

Swan moves the inputs. The inputs move the outputs.

Rep productivity here means dollars per rep, not hours saved. Swan makes every rep do the right thing, on the right account, at the right time, and never miss the move that matters. The stages compound: more SQOs give AEs more to convert, and better conversion applies to every one of them.

Value40% of $50M new-logo ARR$6.9M

With conversion held, SQOs per SDR rise in line with meetings booked: +30.4%. Conversion is a guardrail: more SQOs never come at the cost of quality.

Assumes AEs can work the added SQOs, and that meeting-to-SQO conversion holds.
