Trends and the projection

Solid points are uploaded weeks; the gray tail is a straight-line projection.

Each trend chart shows one scorecard column by week, then four projected weeks.

Steps

  1. Read the solid line first. That is what happened.
  2. The projection fits a line through the last eight uploaded weeks and extends it four weeks.
  3. A steep projection after a strong month says the last eight weeks were strong, nothing more.
  4. With fewer than three uploaded weeks it repeats the last value.

Good to know

  • The method is written under the heading; hover it.
  • Use the projection to catch a slide early, not as a target.
