Join Discord Q&AA forecast is not a product until it changes a decision. Predictive optimization must connect model output to operational action.
Dimension suggestions
- Vision
- Look beyond model accuracy. Ask what decision the forecast supports, who owns the decision, and what failure would cost.
- Harness
- Practice designing recommendation logic with guardrails: threshold, confidence, exception handling, escalation, and human approval.
- Forge
- Build a mock recommendation engine that converts demand, capacity, and asset condition into an action suggestion.
- Charisma
- When presenting an AI recommendation, include the why. Operators need rationale, not just an answer.
