Trend forecasting

How accurate are Heuritech’s forecasts?

Our forecasts have a median error of less than 10% at 12 months, across all geographies. In other words, for a typical trend, what we forecast a year ahead is within 10% of what actually happens.

How we measure it

We test our forecasts against what really happened, a standard method called backtesting:

  • We hide the past year → for a given season, we set aside the last 12 months of data

  • We forecast it → our models predict how the trend would evolve over that period

  • We compare → we check the forecast against the trend's actual performance

We run this test continuously, so we always know how our models are performing and can keep improving them.
