Solution · Pipeline Engine
Predictable pipeline, without building the function in-house.
The D3 Pipeline Engine is a managed outbound and SDR function for companies whose primary constraint is pipeline creation. It is one solution inside the wider D3 revenue system, and the only one that carries a published price and a guarantee.
Pricing
Then $2,000/month ongoing.
The first month covers the market build, the sending infrastructure, and campaign design. The ongoing fee covers the infrastructure and data itself, which you own outright.
Performance compensation is separate.
Performance compensation is separate and sits on top of the ongoing fee, structured as pay-per-meeting or pay-per-close. We state it plainly here so it never reads as a cost you discovered late.
We tie our compensation to results.
We do offer a guarantee. It is not a meeting count invented before we have seen your market, because meeting volume and show rate depend on your offer, your list, and your buyers. Instead we put our compensation on the outcome.
Pay per qualified meeting
Teams with closers already in seat. We are measured on the conversations we create; your team runs them.
Pay per closed deal
Teams without closing capacity, or where D3 joins the sales call. We are measured on revenue, not activity.
How it is set: Set on the strategy call from your historical conversion data, the size of your addressable market, and your 12-month growth target. The structure and terms are written into the engagement agreement, which controls over this page. This applies to the Pipeline Engine only.

Prioritization
Your reps shouldn't treat every account equally
The engine ranks the market before it touches it. A few hundred accounts get human hours; the rest get automated coverage and monitoring.
The scoring model is built per client from the factors that predict opportunity for that business. Detail on the intelligence layer is on D3 Data.
Total addressable market
24,382
accounts, enriched and scored
- Tier 13121.3%
Strong fit, live buying signals, right timing. Reps work these by hand.
- Tier 21,8467.6%
Good fit, weaker or no timing trigger. Covered by campaigns, promoted on signal.
- Tier 322,22491.1%
The long tail. Reached by email over time, monitored for change. No rep hours.
Bar lengths show rep attention, not account count: the 312 accounts at the top get most of the human hours, the 22,224 at the bottom get automated coverage. Figures are illustrative, not client data.

The feedback loop
Month six should out-target month one
Conversion data reweights the scoring model on a set cadence, so the accounts that actually close decide what next quarter's Tier 1 looks like.

Conversion data
What actually closed, and why
Conversion data reweights the scoring model. If accounts with a specific characteristic convert three times better, that signal gains weight, next month's Tier 1 looks different, and rep hours follow what the pipeline proved.
FAQ
Pipeline Engine questions
The full FAQ covering the wider revenue system is on the pricing page.
What is the D3 Pipeline Engine?
It is the managed outbound and SDR layer, for companies whose primary constraint is pipeline creation rather than the wider system. It includes ICP strategy, D3 Data, cold email and calling, SDR recruiting, training, and management, CRM setup, and forecasting. It is the one layer carrying a performance guarantee, which ties D3's compensation to results on a pay-per-meeting or pay-per-close basis. That guarantee applies to the Pipeline Engine only, and not to advisory, RevOps, customer success, or account expansion work.
Do you guarantee results?
Yes, on the Pipeline Engine, and it works by tying our compensation to results rather than by promising a meeting count. We will not publish a number before we have seen your market: meeting volume and show rate depend on your offer, your list, and your buyers, so a number invented in advance is either padded or missed. Instead you pay per qualified meeting or per closed deal. Which structure fits depends on your team. If you have closers in seat, per-meeting keeps the incentive on the part we control. If you do not, D3 can join the sales call and per-close makes more sense. The specific structure is set on the strategy call from your historical conversion data, the size of your addressable market, and your 12-month growth target, then written into the agreement. Nothing outside that agreement is guaranteed.
What does it cost?
The Pipeline Engine starts at $4,000 per month. Everything else is scoped, because a RevOps rebuild for a 40-person sales org and a customer success buildout for a founder-led team are not the same job at the same price. You get a written scope and number before you commit. We do not publish a price for work we have not scoped.
What is D3 Data?
The intelligence layer underneath everything else: market mapping, account tiering, ownership identification, and observable signals like advertising activity, review data, website technology, social activity, and hiring or growth markers, combined into an opportunity score. It exists so targeting decisions are made from evidence rather than instinct. Coverage varies by market and we report it as it is.
Pipeline is one stage of seven
The Pipeline Engine creates conversations. What happens after, whether deals close, whether customers stay, and whether accounts expand, is a different set of functions. If the constraint turns out to be downstream of pipeline, the full revenue stack is where to look.
Need pipeline before anything else?
Bring your market and your current outbound motion to the call. We will tell you what the Pipeline Engine would realistically produce, and whether pipeline is actually your constraint.
