FAQ – Forecasting as a Service

How do you ensure forecast accuracy?

We benchmark models using rolling out-of-sample backtests (e.g., sMAPE, MASE) and compare results against baseline and analyst/market consensus. Accuracy improves continuously as more data and event insights are collected.

Do you handle data sourcing and licensing?

Yes. We identify, evaluate, and maintain external data feeds, including licensing and SLAs. If you have internal data sources, we integrate and harmonize them as part of the pipeline.

How long does implementation take?

A typical engagement runs 6–12 months. The first usable forecasts are usually available after 4–8 weeks, depending on data availability and scope.

What commodities do you support?

We work across energy, metals, chemicals, agriculture and more. If your market has data and structure, we can model it — and if not, we tell you upfront.

How are forecasts delivered?

Via dashboard, API, CSV/Email, SFTP, or direct data warehouse sync — whatever best fits your workflows.

Do we need internal data scientists to maintain the models?

No. We operate forecasting pipelines, model monitoring, tuning, and updates for you as part of the service.

Can I add forecasting to the CIP later?

Yes. Forecasting can be added to the Commodity Intelligence Platform at any time. Many clients start with FaaS and scale into CIP later.

What does pricing depend on?

Pricing is based on data availability, number of commodities/entities, and forecast frequency / horizon. We provide a transparent scoping and cost estimate before the project starts.

Unsure where to start with AI?

Budget, data readiness, stakeholders, timing — rolling out AI in procurement or commodity management can be complex. We’ll help you evaluate the options and choose the approach that makes sense for your organization today.
