YakData
Forecasting and scenario systems

Build a forecast the organization can actually operate.

YakData defines, builds, deploys, and transfers decision-grade forecasting and scenario systems for board plans, growth decisions, acquisitions, lender conversations, and operating strategy.

The actual problem

A forecast can reconcile and still be unsafe.

Forecast failure usually sits in assumptions, constraints, timing, ownership, data quality, and management response, not only in the formula or model.

Assumptions

Targets become inputs

The model confirms aspiration instead of testing whether the organization can execute it.

Constraints

Capacity appears too late

Hiring, ramp time, onboarding, liquidity, retention, and delivery limits are omitted or delayed.

Ownership

No one governs the answer

Material drivers have no accountable owner, valid range, review cadence, or escalation rule.

The deliverable is not a spreadsheet. It is an operating system connecting drivers, scenarios, decisions, owners, thresholds, and monitoring.
Production path

From executive question to managed forecast.

01

Define

Decision, consequence, baseline, users, and acceptance criteria.

02

Architect

Drivers, data, methods, scenarios, constraints, interface, and controls.

03

Build and test

Vertical slice, baseline comparison, failure cases, and human review.

04

Deploy and transfer

Monitoring, documentation, training, ownership, and handoff.

Commercial architecture

Define first. Build second. Expand only when justified.
