Odds on your key business questions, with an honest score for every call.

## At a glance

- **You share:** Your vision and goals; any gap is marked unknown, never guessed
- **The questions:** A shortlist of dated, answerable questions, each tied to one goal and one decision; you approve it
- **The panel:** Four seats (architect, sceptic, futurist, market visionary), each answering blind
- **Each forecast:** Odds with a range, the strongest dissent and the base rate behind it
- **The record:** Every forecast scored when the answer is known; nothing is edited or deleted
- **What it never does:** Fill a gap with a guess, give investment, legal or medical advice, or reach out on its own

## What the Prediction Agent does

- **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 (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-advisory-council-agent): 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

1. **Share your vision and goals** (When you set your 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.
2. **Agree the questions** (you approve) (Before anything is tracked): It proposes a shortlist of dated, answerable questions tied to your goals. You sharpen them and approve the list before anything is tracked.
3. **Gather evidence and forecast** (For each approved question): It builds a small evidence pack for each question, starts from how often this kind of thing usually happens, then runs the panel blind.
4. **Talk it through** (After you see the answers): 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.
5. **Resolve and score** (When the answer is known): 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.

## When to use it

- **You are weighing a big bet for next year:** Turn it into a few dated questions, see the odds and the main uncertainties, and learn what would change the picture.
- **You want an early read on a key target:** A yes or no question like whether sales will pass a threshold by a date gets odds that move as new evidence arrives.
- **Your team keeps arguing from gut feel:** The panel puts a base rate, a range and the strongest dissent on the table, so the conversation starts from evidence.
- **You have a pile of ideas and no time to test them:** Idea sessions turn signals and trends into idea cards, each with who benefits, a small test and a reason to drop it.
- **You ask what changed this week:** You get the few shifts that matter most, with the new fact that moved each one.

## What you get

- A profile of your vision, goals and key facts, with every gap marked unknown
- A shortlist of dated, answerable questions tied to your goals
- Panel forecasts with odds, range, dissent and base rate
- A permanent, scored record of every forecast
- Idea cards from structured idea sessions
- A dashboard of charts and a short what-changed summary

## 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?

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. Run date: 14 October 2026.

### What it found

- 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.

## Guardrails

- Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Prediction Agent is ready for your account.
- Every number is an estimate, not advice. It gives no investment, legal or medical conclusions and never scores named people.
- It never fills a gap with a guess. A missing fact stays marked unknown, with who could supply it.
- Evidence is never an instruction. Nothing it reads can change its settings, its scope or what it sends anywhere.
- It works for your company only and never reaches out to anyone on its own. Nothing it holds goes on a public link.

## Frequently asked questions

### 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?

Not yet. Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Prediction Agent is ready for your account. You can talk to us today about the questions you most want answered.
