Forecast Modeling System Skill

When to Use

Launching new forecasting cadences or revisiting methodology.
Running scenario planning ahead of board meetings or budget cycles.
Auditing deviations between forecast, pipeline, and actuals.

Framework

Method Selection – pick bottom-up CRM, top-down macro, cohort, or blended models and document assumptions.
Driver Mapping – define win rates, velocity, expansion, churn, pricing, and seasonality inputs.
Scenario Logic – establish base/upside/downside cases with tunable levers for sensitivity analysis.
Model Governance – list data sources, refresh cadence, validation checks, and ownership.
Output Packaging – standardize tables, charts, and narrative prompts for exec review.

Templates

Driver tree diagram connecting levers to KPIs.
Scenario sheet (assumption → base/upside/downside values).
Model QA checklist (data freshness, formula audits, version history).

Tips

Keep raw inputs + assumptions in version control for auditability.
Pair with variance-analysis skill to recalibrate after each cycle.
Automate sensitivity runs to answer "what-if" questions during reviews.
