Predictive Analytics

See the likely outcome early enough to do something about it.

Graphite Note builds predictive models for business planning, forecasting and prioritisation. The aim is not a model score in isolation. It is a prediction at the level where a team can actually make a decision.

Decision-ready forecasting

A forecast is useful when it changes a plan.

Graphite Note focuses on the operational unit, horizon and uncertainty that the business needs. A single top-line forecast may be accurate and still be useless if planners allocate people, inventory or budget at a much finer level.

HORIZON

Match the planning window

Build the forecast around when the team can still act.

GRANULARITY

Predict at the decision level

Store, brand, customer, region or another unit that maps to real execution.

UNCERTAINTY

Show confidence, not false precision

Expose uncertainty where it changes planning or risk tolerance.

Direct answers

Predictive analytics without the fog.

How is predictive analytics different from causal analytics?

Predictive analytics estimates what is likely to happen. Causal analytics asks what would change if an intervention changed. Both can be useful in the same decision workflow.

Can Graphite Note use external variables?

Yes, when they are relevant and available. External signals can improve forecasts if they carry information about the future outcome and are available at prediction time.

What happens after the forecast?

That depends on the business decision. The prediction can feed planning, prioritisation, a causal analysis, optimisation or a machine-readable recommendation through the Decision API.

Build the forecast around the decision.

Start with the planning question, not the algorithm.
