Forecasting in Pigment Mandatory prerequisite: every forecast model MUST have a Version dimension with Actual and Forecast items. Load skill:building-versions-and-planning-cycles before creating any metrics. For the correct time-offset formula pattern ([SELECT: Month-12] vs PREVIOUS), load skill:choosing-formula-patterns. Two forecasting approaches with different effort, accuracy, and use cases. Choose Among the Forecasting Approaches | Approach | When to use | effort | Accuracy | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Growth-rate hypotheses | Simple budgets, top-down targets, early-stage planning with limited history | Low | Low to medium (depends on assumption quality) | | Statistical formula functions | Formula-driven forecasts with full modeler control over method and parameters | Medium | Medium to high (depends on data quality and function choice) | Approach 1 — Growth-Rate Hypotheses Apply a growth rate to historical actuals or a base period.
