How the case study runs
Before Month 1: Instant Historical View
As soon as your data connects, TSF generates up to six months of historical forecasts — what TSF would have predicted — side by side wity your actual results. This backfill gives you an immediate benchmark of how accurate and consistent TSF already is. You start the trial by seeing what the past six months would have looked like inside TSF’s green zone forecasts. That visibility sets the expectation: you know from day one what ”normal” looks like and how reliably the forecasts perform.
Each forecast is SKU-based, not store-based. TSF identifies and tracks the daily variability of every individual product, giving you a distinct forecast band for each one. The green zone isn’t an average — it’s a map of how each SKU behaves day by day, showing where stability holds and where real movement begins.
Month 1: Orientation
You receive your first full-month forecast on the 1st, complete with the daily gold line forecast values and the green zone confidence bands that define the best- and worst-case scenarios. During this month, you learn how to read the band and see how your real results fall within it. Most merchants quickly realize how much calmer operations feel once the month’s shape is visible from the start.
Month 2: Application
With the forecast now familiar, kyou begin using it to plan orders, ad pacing, and staffing. The TSF team tracks examples of how your decisions shift when foresight replaces guesswork. The impact starts to show immediately — fewer surprises, better timing, smoother weeks.
Month 3: Results
By the third month, you’re operating fluently with TSF. You’ve experienced two full months of forecasts against real outcomes, and the changes in planning and control are tangible. TSF compiles your ROI summary and visuals for review, and you approve the final case study for publication.
NOTE: TSF Lite delivers the forecasts; the case study measures how foresight improves real decisions.
