Choose the question before the number
Start with one measure: revenue, expenses, or net profit. Choose the method and prediction horizon, then inspect the result alongside the history used to produce it. Keeping those decisions explicit makes different estimates easier to compare.
The current methods are statistical baselines. They are not LLM-generated forecasts, seasonal models, or cash-flow predictions.
Recent average: a steady baseline
The average method uses the selected historical window to produce a level estimate for each future month. It can be a useful reference when you want to understand a recent run rate rather than assume continued growth.
Fyntrium requires at least three consecutive imported months for the average method. An unusually strong or weak month can influence the result, so check the underlying history before relying on the baseline.
Linear trend: extend the recent direction
The trend method fits a straight-line direction to the selected history and extends it into the forecast period. It helps make a recent upward or downward pattern visible.
Fyntrium requires at least six consecutive imported months for this method. A trend does not establish why performance changed, and extending it does not mean that the same change will continue.
Know what the estimate leaves out
The current methods do not model seasonality, new contracts, hiring decisions, or payment timing. They do not automatically account for information that is absent from the imported history.
Revenue and profit are not the same as cash available in the bank. A forecast of either measure should not be treated as a statement of future cash balances.
- Check for missing months and unusual transactions.
- Compare the estimate with what you know about the business.
- Keep the method and assumptions attached when you export.
- Revisit the estimate when new actual results are available.
Share the result with context
Use the chart and data views to review an estimate, then export CSV data or print a report. A PDF saved through your browser gives your advisor or team a readable snapshot of the discussion.
Predictions are estimates, not guarantees or personalized financial advice. Use them alongside your own operating knowledge and professional advice where needed.
