The acronym SCARF Dan Rock created from the five ‘key social domains that are either rewarding or threatening for us’ which tend to drive behaviour. Namely;

Buyers, it seems, are more likely to give us the go ahead if they feel that;
their standing will rise, they have comfort as to what will unfold, they feel in control, there’s a state of trust, and that proceedings are fair.

Surely a winning framework to apply across the chief protagonists in your funnel as a forecast checking exercise.
