Capability / 07 / Forecast
Forecast
Scenarios, modeled and defended. Forward-looking analysis across configurable assumptions. Base case, sensitivity, and the reasoning behind every variable.
A forecast you can actually defend
01
Configurable scenario sets
Base case, downside, upside, and any custom case your team needs. Each scenario is a set of assumptions, not a black box. Edit one variable, rerun the fan.
02
Sensitivity surfaced
Which assumptions move the answer most? The platform ranks variables by impact and shows the elasticity. Your committee debates the inputs, not the output.
03
Defended assumptions
Every variable carries the source of its value: historical mean, partner judgment, regulatory benchmark. The forecast is reproducible because the inputs are sourced.
How Forecast fits into your forecasting work
Input
Scenarios, assumptions, and history
The forward-looking question, the scenario set, the lever values, and the historical data the platform should reference. Assumptions are sourced and labeled upfront.
Output
Scenario fan with sensitivity ranking
Base case, downside, upside, and any custom case. Sensitivity ranked by elasticity. Every variable's value carries its origin source — historical mean, partner judgment, regulatory benchmark.
Defensibility
Reproducible end to end
The forecast can be rebuilt step by step because every input is sourced. Reviewers override per-scenario without re-running the whole model.
Integration
Plugs into your existing data
Historical sources, market data, partner-specific overlays. Output routes into your dashboards, IC packets, or committee memos.
What the projection looks like
Three-scenario fan, sensitivity ranked by elasticity, every assumption sourced. Your committee debates the inputs, not the output.
Top drivers
Questions teams ask
How are assumptions sourced?
Each variable carries the origin of its value: historical mean, partner judgment, regulatory benchmark, market consensus. Reviewers see the source on every assumption and can override per-scenario.
Can we add custom scenarios?
Yes. Base, downside, and upside are defaults; custom scenarios are first-class. Add a stress case, a regulatory case, a partner-driven case; the platform reruns the fan.
How is this different from a model in Excel?
The platform carries reasoning per variable, not just values. Sensitivity is computed continuously. Assumptions update across all scenarios when a source changes. The output is editable, not regenerated from scratch.
What about the assumptions we cannot defend?
Flagged inline. The platform is honest about which inputs are well-sourced and which are estimates. Your committee sees the difference and decides whether to escalate.
