Actuals vs. Forecast

One of the most valuable views in Galdera is comparing your actual results against what was forecast. This comparison shows:

  • Actuals: Real historical values from your data sources
  • Baseline forecast: What the model predicted (no overlays)
  • Scenario forecast: The model prediction plus your overlay adjustments

Variance analysis helps you understand where your assumptions were right or wrong, and how much of the variance came from your overlays versus the baseline model. Over time, this feedback loop improves the quality of your planning assumptions.

Actuals are ingested automatically from your connected data sources. The comparison view aligns actuals and forecast on the same time axis so you can spot trends, step changes, and outliers at a glance.
