When your forecast misses, do you know which assumption failed?

The question DAMON is hired to answer. The chart shows who holds the position and where the decision goes when it is not DAMON's to make.

With DAMON in the roleHere is the number, here is what moved it, here is who changed it and why, and here is whether that change made it better.

DAMON refreshes the baseline, tests signal quality, flags deviations, assembles the pack, logs assumptions. The planning number, with the statistical view and the overlays shown separately.

The number DAMON is measured on

Every digital coworker is hired against one primary measure, agreed and baselined before build. The others are read alongside it so the primary cannot be moved at their expense.

Primary measure

Forecast accuracy at the chosen decision level

  • Forecast bias by segment
  • Consensus cycle time
  • Proportion of overrides with a recorded rationale
  1. 01

    The consensus meeting spends its time on judgement, rather than on reconciling spreadsheets

  2. 02

    Every override attributed, so a miss can be diagnosed rather than debated

  3. 03

    Data defects separated from demand signals, which is the difference between fixing a feed and changing a plan

  4. 04

    Planner judgement becomes reusable knowledge, because the effect of each override is tracked

  5. 05

    Bias made visible by segment, before it compounds into safety stock and expedite cost

What DAMON does alone, and what stays with your team

DAMON reports to the Chief Supply Chain Officer. Anything outside the written boundary goes to demand planning manager, S&OP forum or supply planning, with the evidence attached.

“Authorised. Logged. Reversible.”

  • Tests signal at the right level of the hierarchy
  • Captures every assumption with its author and date
  • Measures bias and forecast value added by segment
