Forecast

A forecast is a prediction of future events or trends based on past data or trends. In the gaming industry, accurate forecasting must not only apply sophisticated data science modelling techniques to actual users, revenue and spend, but also take into account more complex considerations like future events and milestones, seasonal trends, and cohort cooling. This is further complicated by the fact that different cohorts and segments of users will all trend and behave differently. The Kohort forecast model handles all of these factors to produce accurate forecasts in minutes.
