The Forecast tab

What the Forecast tab shows — confirmed future revenue, pending pipeline, a timeline of upcoming revenue, and the list of upcoming sessions. The one Stats tab that looks forward instead of back.

Forecast is the one tab that looks forward instead of back. It plots the revenue locked in on your calendar for the next few weeks or months, and the extra revenue still sitting in pending requests waiting to be confirmed.

  • Forecast has its own date picker

    The period selector at the top of Stats looks at the past, so it doesn't apply here. Forecast has its own Forecast until [date] picker on the tab, with quick buttons for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, and 1 year — or tap the date to pick any future day on a calendar. The window always runs from today up to the date you choose, and everything else on the tab — the two figures, the chart, and the list below — updates to match it.

  • Confirmed vs Pipeline

    Two figures at the top tell you what's coming financially. Both show what would actually reach you, after any cut your studio takes — so a €500 guest-spot session where the studio keeps 30% shows here as the €350 you'd pocket.

    • Confirmed (green) — earnings from work that's already booked into your calendar within the window. The card also shows how many sessions that is.
    • Pipeline (orange) — potential earnings from requests still being negotiated. They might land, they might fall through. The card shows how many requests are in it.
  • Upcoming revenue

    A bar-by-bar look at the money ahead of you across the window you picked, so you can see where the busy and quiet stretches fall. Green bars are confirmed work; orange bars are the pending pipeline. Shorter windows are grouped one bar per week; longer ones (6 months or a year) switch to one bar per month so the chart stays readable.

  • Upcoming Sessions list

    The actual sessions and appointments coming up, one per row, with the date, the client, the price if it's set, and how long the session is. It's a good gut-check on the Confirmed figure — if the list looks thin for the number above it, you've probably got a session priced higher than it should be.

Frequently asked questions

I just confirmed a booking but it's not in the Forecast yet. Why?

Stats subscribes live, but the booking has to be fully confirmed and inside your Forecast window to count. Check that every session field is accepted and that the date falls before your Forecast until date.

Pipeline is high but I don't trust it. What does it actually mean?

It adds up every pending request in the window at its current price — including ones that may well fall through. Treat it as a best-case ceiling, not a realistic prediction.

I proposed €500 to a client and Pipeline shows €350 for that booking — is something broken?

No. The figures here are what you'd actually keep after your studio's cut. A €500 proposal at a guest spot where the studio takes 30% leaves you €350, which is what shows. The full €500 is on the Revenue tab.

Why doesn't the Forecast tab use the period selector at the top of the screen?

That selector is for looking back; Forecast is for looking ahead. One control can't sensibly mean both at once.
