2. Choose a forecasting level at the top of the Forecaster:
Baseline – our standard projection for typical conditions
Conservative – a lower-bound estimate that bakes in headwinds
Optimistic – an upper-bound estimate assuming favorable conditions

3. (Optional) Pick your breakouts to see metrics split by Channel, Device, or Geo. You can apply one or more breakouts at a time.
4. Select the metrics you want from the action menu in each section (e.g., Programmatic, Email), then scroll to review charts and tables.
5. Download the current forecast view to Excel from the download icon at the top-right of the Forecaster panel.
Confidence Score
Each forecast includes a Confidence Score that reflects model certainty for the chosen audience, level, and breakouts. Use it as a quick gut-check when comparing scenarios.
