Forecast accuracy
How closely past forecasts matched actual results.
Definition
Forecast accuracy measures the deviation between projected and actual figures over time, usually as a mean absolute percentage error across periods.
Why it matters
An unmeasured forecast cannot improve. Tracking accuracy also tells you how much confidence the next forecast deserves.
