How accurate is the cash flow forecast?

Within ~10% for businesses with stable revenue patterns. Volatile / seasonal businesses see wider bands.

Updated May 12, 2026

The 13-week forecast is built from your real 90-day transaction history + Pulse's pattern detection. It models weekly inflows + outflows, applies typical variance, and projects forward.

Typical accuracy bands

Business typeTypical accuracy
Stable SaaS / recurring revenue±5-8% per week
Brick-and-mortar (restaurant, retail)±10-15% per week
Project-based services±15-20% per week
Highly seasonal (lawn care, tax prep)Tighter at recent weeks, wider farther out

Pulse highlights tight weeks in red so you have 4 weeks of warning. The goal isn't perfect prediction — it's giving you enough lead time to act.
