Forecast Versions
A Forecast Version is a named, time-bounded forecast run. It defines:
- Training start: How far back the model looks at historical data to learn patterns
- Forecast start: When the prediction period begins (typically the current or next period)
- Forecast end: The horizon out to which predictions are generated
Versions are the top-level container for all your planning work. Overlays live inside a version (their blocks tagged with scenarios), and all forecast outputs are tied to a specific version. You might maintain a "Q2 2026 Rolling Forecast" version updated monthly, alongside a "FY2026 Annual Plan" version that is locked once approved.
Previous versions remain accessible for audit and comparison -- you can always go back and see what was forecast in a prior period and compare it to actuals.
