Prediction Agent: Forecasts for the Questions That Shape Your Business
Odds on your key business questions, with an honest score for every call.
The Prediction Agent is the AI forecasting agent in the Ai1 platform by MyZone AI: it tracks the dated questions that matter to your goals, forecasts each one with a four-seat expert panel and keeps a scored record of every call, hits and misses alike.
Every forecast is a probability with a range, the strongest dissent and the base rate behind it, so you know how sure to be.
Early warning on what matters
Short-dated questions act as warning lights, so you see a shift coming while there is still time to act.
An honest track record
Every forecast is recorded and scored when the answer is known. Misses are shown as plainly as hits.
A thinking partner
It debates with you, says what it does not know and tells you what new fact would change its mind.

Capabilities
What the Prediction Agent does for you
Learns your vision and goals
It reads your vision and goals back to you, lists what it knows and marks every gap as unknown instead of filling it with a guess.
Keeps a shortlist of key questions
About a dozen dated questions, each tied to one goal and one decision, with a clear rule anyone could use to say whether it happened.
Runs an expert panel
Four expert seats, an architect, a sceptic, a futurist and a market visionary, each answer blind. You see every answer, then the panel's middle view.
Gathers and dates the evidence
Short, sourced and dated facts are collected for each question, from what you tell it and a vetted list of sources you choose.
Scores every forecast
When a question resolves, you tell it what happened and it scores the forecast. Nothing in the record is ever edited or deleted.
Shows it all on a dashboard
Charts show the odds moving over time, and a quick summary tells you the few changes that matter most since you last looked.
How the Prediction Agent differs from forecasting by gut feel
A gut call gives you a confident answer and no way to check it. The Prediction Agent puts a probability, a range, the strongest dissent and the base rate on every question, gathers dated evidence and shows the odds moving as facts change. Every forecast is recorded and scored when the answer is known, so misses are as plain as hits. It marks what it does not know and never fills a gap with a guess.
How this differs from the AI Advisory Council: To get a recommendation on one hard decision, use the AI Advisory Council; the Prediction Agent tracks the questions that shape your business and shows how the odds move over time.
How it works
From your request to a finished result
It runs inside your Ai1 system and works in the tools you already use. You ask, it works, it reports, and it stops for your OK where it matters.

Step 1: Share your vision and goals
Tell it where you want the business to go. It reads it back, names the facts it is missing and who could fill them.
You approve
Step 2: Agree the questions
It proposes a shortlist of dated, answerable questions tied to your goals. You sharpen them and approve the list before anything is tracked.
Step 3: Gather evidence and forecast
It builds a small evidence pack for each question, starts from how often this kind of thing usually happens, then runs the panel blind.
Step 4: Talk it through
You see each seat's answer and reasoning. Push back or add a fact you know first-hand, and it updates in small, explained steps.
Step 5: Resolve and score
When the answer is known you tell it, the forecast is scored and the dashboard shows how the odds and the track record have moved.

Example forecast briefing
Example: quarterly forecast briefing
Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.
What it was asked: Which questions should we be watching this quarter, what are the odds on each, and how have they moved over the last month?
Example report
Question portfolio: what we track and whyPanel run on C4: will peak-season volume beat last year by more than 10%?Odds moving over time: the four core questionsIdea session and the forecast ledger
What it found: 3 findings, with the numbers
Twelve yes or no questions are tracked, each tied to a decision; 5 resolve within 45 days, and no accuracy score is shown until 20 have resolved.
Peak-season volume beating last year by more than 10% is now 47%, up 14 points from a 33% base rate, with seats ranging from 31% to 55%.
Fuel cost odds rose 11 points while driver vacancy and largest customer renewal odds fell, prompting two testable ideas: shared overflow space and one seasonal driver pool.
This is an illustrative example of the forecast briefing Prediction Agent is being built to produce: a question portfolio, a blind four-seat panel run with base rate, median and dissent, odds over time and an idea session. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented company with invented questions, odds and figures. No real data, systems or people were involved, and nothing was booked, hired or sent.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about the Prediction Agent
How do AI probability forecasts work for a business?
Each question gets a probability rather than a verdict. The Prediction Agent gathers short, dated evidence, starts from how often this kind of thing usually happens, then asks its expert panel to answer blind. You see the middle view, the range and the strongest dissent, and the forecast is scored when the answer is known.
What makes a good business forecasting question?
It has a date, a clear rule anyone could use to say whether it happened, and a link to one goal and one decision. The Prediction Agent keeps a shortlist like that and asks number questions as clear yes or no thresholds, so they can be scored fairly. You sharpen the list and approve it before anything is tracked.
Can forecasting really help with a big business decision?
It helps you think, not decide for you. The Prediction Agent turns a big bet into a few dated questions, shows the odds and the main uncertainties and says what new fact would change its mind. You still choose. Every number is an estimate, not advice, and it never fills a gap with a guess.
How is AI forecasting from Prediction Agent different from a gut call?
Every forecast starts from how often this kind of thing usually happens, gives a probability with a range and shows the strongest dissent. Each one is recorded and scored, so over time you can see how good the calls really are.
What kind of questions can it forecast?
Dated, answerable questions tied to your goals, such as whether a target will be hit by a certain date. Number questions are asked as clear yes or no thresholds so they can be scored fairly.
Who is on the expert panel?
Four seats with different viewpoints: an architect, a sceptic, a futurist and a market visionary. They answer blind, without seeing each other, and the panel reports its middle view, the spread and the strongest dissent.
Is this financial or investment advice?
No. Every number is a structured estimate to help you think, not advice. For a high-stakes decision it lays out the options, the uncertainties and what would change its mind.
How accurate is it?
It will not claim an accuracy figure until enough questions have resolved to make one meaningful. Until then, every hit and every miss is shown plainly in the record.
Is the Prediction Agent available now?
