Median forecast error in the pilot
The bars show the published median errors from the pilot: a subset of locations in two regions, forecasts compared with what actually sold. They are not a chart of one business day. The bar for “over 30%” is drawn at 30 on a scale that ends at 40.
Forecasts off by over 30%.
Managers pulled up a budget set months earlier, compared it with a 3 to 6 week day-of-the-week average, and adjusted by judgement. The median forecast error was over 30%, and one in every 20 manager forecasts was out by 100%. None of it reflected poor management: it was the math of judgement plus budget. Call it decision debt.
