How does Trefis determine the impact of a forecast on the price estimate?
Each Trefis forecast is mathematically related to either future Revenues or future Costs. When a user makes a change to Trefis forecast, the Trefis platform recalculates the implied Revenues, Costs and Cash Profits for the company in the future. Some forecasts have a greater influence on the overall profitability of the company in the future than others and such differences are communicated to users based on how sensitive the Trefis price is to a particular forecast.
