Logged before. Scored after.

We build forecasts that are written down before the outcome is known and scored against what happened, so you know how far to trust them.

The challenge

A forecast nobody scores cannot be trusted.

Most forecasts are judged by how convincing they sound. When they miss, nobody checks, and the next one sounds just as convincing.

Every forecast we publish is logged with a timestamp before the outcome, and scored when the outcome is known. CERES does this every week for food crises in 43 countries, and the same discipline applies to demand, prices or load.

What we deliver.

  • Build the forecast from your own data and the public sources around it.
  • Log every forecast with a timestamp before the outcome is known.
  • Score it against what happened, and show the record.
  • State the uncertainty, instead of hiding it.

How it works.
