# Forecasting

> How AI Chat builds forecasts from real deal signals, not stage averages.

Octolane's forecast doesn't trust your stage assignments alone. It re-scores every deal using:

* Recency and depth of conversations
* AI-extracted decision criteria, blockers, and timelines
* Historical win rate of similar deals in your workspace

Ask AI Chat: *"Forecast this quarter, commit and best case."*
