Model Ownership With QA models, you own the model formula at project completion which give you unlimited use, and ensures forecasts are based on variables you fully understand rather than a black-box forecast calculation. This gives you the option of developing forecasts internally using your data sources. Model ownership is a core difference from other modeling firms. The model is developed from your locations and your sales data, so why shouldn’t you own the forecasting formula? Perhaps it is the recurring revenue our competitors are seeking; if you don’t own the model then you have no choice but to use their forecasting services at a high cost. We believe in earning your repeat business, through high quality models that forecast well. Performance Guarantee All QA models are backed by a performance guarantee. You hold back sales data on a number of your locations for a blind forecast test. After the model is developed, you can measure the model's performance by comparing forecasted sales to actual sales: If the model doesn’t perform, your modeling costs will be refunded. No other company offers this guarantee, but we believe in standing behind the quality of our analysis. If a blind test isn’t part of your initial model development methodology, the blind test will come a few years later with your new sites and your capital. |
