Calibration

How accurate the forecasts have been, so you know how much to trust the next one.

A forecast without a track record is an opinion. Calibration scores past projections against what actually happened, by horizon.

The useful output is a bias: whether the system runs optimistic or pessimistic, and by how much, at each horizon.

How to work this page

Read accuracy by horizon

Thirty day forecasts should be tight. Ninety day ones are wider and that is expected. What matters is whether the width is honest.

Look for systematic bias

Consistently over or under is fixable. Random error is noise and is not.

Find the largest contributor

Usually a small number of receivables with inconsistent payment behaviour. Naming them tells you which conversation would help.

Let it adjust

Confirmed bias feeds back into the projection, so the forecast improves as it learns your business.

Calibration on iPhone 15 Pro Max

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

How long before this is meaningful?

Three months of history for thirty day horizons. Longer horizons need proportionally longer.

What if accuracy is poor?

Usually incomplete data rather than a bad model. Unrecorded bills and uncategorised transactions are the common causes and both are visible.
