What is the Fix the Forecast course about?

Every week, new data triggers a cascade of manual adjustments. You're not refining , you're rebuilding. The base assumptions erode as soon as they're shared. Stakeholders send conflicting signals. You end up producing versions that don't talk to each other, and the core model loses credibility. This isn't modeling , it's maintenance.

What do you take away from the Fix the Forecast course?

Build a forecast model that absorbs new inputs without structural collapse Create version control that tracks changes without losing narrative continuity Design stakeholder feedback loops that reduce revision frequency by 70% Deploy a validation layer so updates don’t break core assumptions Deliver a single source of truth that survives political and data volatility.

How does this map to your situation?

When the model breaks after stakeholder input After receiving conflicting data requests Before the next monthly forecast cycle When leadership questions model credibility.

The model you update every Monday because stakeholder inputs change over the weekend

The situation this course is for

Every week, new data triggers a cascade of manual adjustments. You're not refining , you're rebuilding. The base assumptions erode as soon as they're shared. Stakeholders send conflicting signals. You end up producing versions that don't talk to each other, and the core model loses credibility. This isn't modeling , it's maintenance.

Who this is for

Economist in a financial institution facing recurring model instability due to shifting stakeholder inputs and external updates

Who this is not for

Academic researchers, long-term trend analysts, or economists working in closed, static modeling environments

What you walk away with

  • Create version control that tracks changes without losing narrative continuity
  • Design stakeholder feedback loops that reduce revision frequency by 70%
  • Deploy a validation layer so updates don’t break core assumptions
  • Deliver a single source of truth that survives political and data volatility

How this maps to your situation

  • When the model breaks after stakeholder input

  • Before the next monthly forecast cycle
  • When leadership questions model credibility

Before vs. after

Before
You rebuild your economic model weekly, reacting to inputs, stakeholder pressure, and data shifts , losing credibility and time.
After
You maintain a stable, trusted model that absorbs changes without breaking, reducing rework and increasing influence.
