## Frequently asked questions

### What is AI forecasting?

AI forecasting uses machine learning to predict future outcomes, such as demand, churn, fraud risk or equipment failure, by learning patterns in your historical data. It's more accurate than simple trend lines, and its reliability depends on a clean, governed data foundation underneath.

### What kinds of predictions can you build?

Demand planning, churn, fraud risk and predictive maintenance are the most common, alongside the analytics and reporting that sit around them. What makes sense for you depends on the data you already collect.

### Why do our current dashboards disagree with each other?

Usually because each one calculates its metrics from a different system, or from a different definition of the same term. A semantic layer fixes this at the root: each metric is defined once and every dashboard reads from that definition.

### Will this require replacing our current systems?

No. We design around the systems you already run. The foundation improves how information from them is used, not where it lives.

### How do we know a model stays accurate?

Every model is validated before launch and monitored afterwards. Versioning, observability and governance come as standard, so drift shows up in the monitoring rather than in a bad decision.

### How is data security handled?

Access, permissions and architecture are designed with your IT and security teams from the start, within enterprise security standards.
