A clean number is how demand lies. Every forecast you have trusted was wrong. You already knew that. What nobody warns you about is the forecast that looks right. Accuracy at 84%, bias inside the band, signed off without a single objection, while it quietly stops being true and no system says a word. That is the lie this book takes apart: a number with everyone's signature and no one's fingerprint.
Signal capture. Forecast Value Added. The bullwhip you keep feeding. An S&OP that decides instead of meets. These are the moves that hold when the number turns on you. Book 02 of the Chain Reaction series. For the planner tired of being blamed for the weather.
