# Revenue forecast

> Predict what a draft would earn before you schedule it: a low-high range and the factors driving it, from your own history.

The **forecast** predicts what a draft would earn based on your account's own attributed history. It shows in the composer as you write, and your agent can call it with [`forecast_post`](/agents/tools-reference#forecast_post). It needs [revenue attribution](/guides/turn-on-revenue-attribution) on and at least **3 earning posts**; below that it says how far along you are instead of faking a number.

## What you get

* **A range**, low to high, rather than a single false-precise figure.
* **A score** from 5 to 99, where the prediction lands between \$0 and your best post ever.
* **Factors**, up to four, each marked up or down: caption length in a band that over-earns for you, a link included (or missing), media included (or missing), posting to your top-earning platform.

## How to read it

The range is deliberately wide because a single post's earnings are uncertain. Use it for **comparison**: if caption A forecasts higher than caption B on the same account, that ranking is the useful signal.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Draft two versions">
    Caption A and caption B for the same idea.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Compare">
    Same platforms, same media setting.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ship the winner">
    Read the factors to learn why it won, and apply that to the next post.
  </Step>
</Steps>

> *"Forecast this caption, then schedule it if it beats my average."*
