0 to 0 · 80% interval

The interval is the measured 10th to 90th percentile of the residuals this model actually produced at each horizon, pooled across branches rather than added up. Adding up per-branch bounds would assume every branch is wrong in the same direction on the same day, and would be roughly three times too wide.

The live run stored no factors for this selection, so there is no ranking to show. Nothing is estimated in the meantime.

Cannibalisation is measured at receipt level: units of the moisturiser bought on a basket that does not also contain the cleanser. Counting total units would show the line growing and miss the effect entirely.

Scenario

SKUDiscount 15%Capped at 20%, the deepest cut in this tenant’s history.

The projection applies the price elasticity observed on prior percentage-discount campaigns across the whole range, not this SKU alone, then re-runs the stock position across the campaign window. This line used to say “for this SKU”, which was never true: the elasticity is pooled over every discount campaign in the history because no single SKU has run enough of them to fit its own.

Revenue: not started

Starts in 24 days and runs for 16. There is nothing measured to compare against the target yet.

Revenue here is the same figure the uplift column above is measured from: sales of the SKUs the campaign is eligible on, across the whole branch network, over the campaign days that have happened. A campaign still running is compared against its full-campaign target with the days elapsed and remaining beside it. Nothing is pro-rated or run forward, because a campaign does not sell evenly across its days in a market whose demand shape is payday and the weekend.

Launching a new product

Not a forecast

This model needs history, and a new product has none. Rather than draw a line and call it a forecast, this states exactly what the system would need, what it can show you in the meantime, and what that shape is not.

Requirement	Value	Why
Ideal history	24 months	Two observations of every festival, which is what the hierarchical shrinkage needs to be stable.
Minimum for a trustworthy trend	112 days	Both halves of the 56-day comparison must be full, or a flat product reads as growth.
Minimum for a level at all	28 days	The level is an exponentially weighted mean over the trailing four weeks.
Available for a new product today	None	Which is the whole point of this screen. Nothing below is a forecast.

Illustrative shape, 30 days

SK-002 Radiance Vitamin C Serum is the analogue, scaled to an assumed 12 units a day. The wiggle you can see is Radiance Vitamin C Serum’s weekday pattern and nothing else, not the new product’s, and not any festive calendar: the days are replotted a whole number of weeks forward, which preserves the weekday and cannot preserve a date.

No band is drawn, because none has been measured. See below.

What this will not tell you

No error figure. Every accuracy number in this product is a rolling-origin back-test result, and a product with no history has nothing to back-test. None is shown here because none has been measured.
No confidence band. The bands elsewhere are the measured percentiles of that back-test's residuals. There are no residuals for a product that has never sold, so a band here would be borrowed from a different product and relabelled.
No launch curve, and none is possible. Not one product in this history has ever launched: all five trade from the first day of the 24-month window, so there is no measured ramp, no time-to-plateau and no first-week multiple anywhere in the data. Your assumed rate is applied at the same value on every day, including the first.
The trend term is unreliable below 112 days and not merely absent. The model compares the last 56 days against the 56 before them. For the first 56 days after launch the earlier window is entirely empty and the trend correctly reads flat. From roughly day 57 to day 111 it is PART empty, so a product selling at a perfectly flat rate reads as growing at the model's maximum permitted +33.9% a year. Only past day 112 is the comparison like for like. Do not trust the model's own trend for a new product before then.
The shape you can see is the analogue's WEEKDAY pattern, not this product's, and NOT its festive calendar. The observed days are replotted a whole number of weeks forward, so the weekday alignment is exact, but a festival falls on a fixed date rather than a weekday, so no festival in the source window lands on its matching day here. It is drawn so you can see the form of the output, and it says nothing about how the new product will actually sell.

Weighted absolute error over 26 rolling origins, model v2.4.1. All three figures are correct and they answer different questions, so each is labelled with the question it answers. The floor is what a model that knew the true rate exactly would still record: daily unit counts are small integers, so a share of the error is the dice and not the model. Bias is -0.4%, and 80% of actual days landed inside the published 80% interval.

one window, so this is the size of the bias below

Weighted absolute error, all three from the same run and all three correct. They differ because they answer different questions: an over-forecast at one branch cancels an under-forecast at another, and a purchase covering the whole window consumes only the total. The run’s bias is 6.4%, so it predicted 7,153 units against 6,723 actual over 30 days (2026-05-24 to 2026-06-22).

Did the published interval hold

The 80 percent interval stored on each forecast row contained the actual on 235 of 300 SKU-branch-days (78.3 percent). That is the interval as it was published, read back off the row.

Pooled up to a network total, the interval contained the actual on 16 of 30 days (53 percent). That band is pooled from the same measured residual variance the row bounds came from, never summed across them, so it is derived here rather than published at the time. Only the per-row interval is calibrated to 80 percent by construction: pooling treats count noise as cancelling across branches and model error as correlated, so on a network total a single run can land either side of 80.

What this does not prove

The point estimates are out of sample. The model was fitted on data up to 23 May 2026 and nothing after it. The interval WIDTH is not: it comes from a variance model fitted across all rolling origins at once, this run included. So the coverage figures above show the published band is calibrated, not that it would have been calibrated using only what was known on the day.
One run is one sample. The panel above this one scores the same model at every rolling origin, and that is the figure to quote for the model rather than this one. A run can be lucky.
