Committed ARR (cARR)
Also known as: cARR
Committed Annual Recurring Revenue includes all contractually committed subscription revenue, counting signed contracts that have not yet started generating recognised revenue.
cARR leads ARR, which makes it useful for companies with long implementation cycles where signed contracts sit dormant for a quarter or more.
It is also easier to flatter, since it depends on how a company treats ramped deals and contracts with future start dates.
