Description

ForecastCore is the central forecasting module for teams building prediction engines from time dependent data. It is designed to support common forecasting workflows such as preparing model inputs, configuring forecast horizons, running model training, generating inference outputs, and organizing prediction metadata. The module is useful when a team needs more than a one off script but does not want to build the entire forecasting scaffold from zero. It can support price forecasting, demand forecasting, load forecasting, resource output forecasting, operational forecasting, and other temporal prediction tasks. In a larger architecture, ForecastCore may sit after data preparation, time alignment, and feature engineering modules, and before uncertainty estimation, scenario generation, evaluation, and downstream decision systems. A typical workflow is to load aligned data, attach features, define a target, configure horizon and granularity, run a forecasting job, export predictions, and pass the results to another module or service. ForecastCore should not be treated as a magic prediction engine. It still requires quality data, meaningful features, correct target definitions, careful validation, and business specific calibration. For production usage, teams should compare baselines, evaluate errors by segment and time period, monitor drift, and wrap the module in a stable service interface.
