Forecasts shouldn't be guesses - they should be architecture.
Forecast Architecture is a tactical blueprint for building modern financial models that adapt, evolve, and drive strategic decisions in real time. Designed for FP&A professionals, CFOs, and finance-savvy operators, this book goes beyond templates and Excel formulas to teach you how to construct forecasting systems that respond intelligently to uncertainty.

Frameworks for integrating AI and machine learning into forecasts
Probabilistic modeling: how to think in ranges, not just point estimates
