Sandbox test pass rate for AI-drafted Salesforce changes: what it counts
A sandbox test pass rate can be 99% or 0% on the same data, depending on the denominator. Here is where the figure is made, and what a PR gate with human approval does to it.
How to read a GEO share of voice dashboard before you hire anyone

Salesforce release management and the forecast: the arithmetic of one unreviewed change
In a constructed example, one changed probability mapping, three forecast calls, EUR 180,000 of weighted pipeline that was never there. The arithmetic, the assumption under it, and the habit that catches it.
