Forecasts
Run a forecast
Pick a run mode, start a forecast and follow it while it researches.
Steps
- Open the question in the Library.
- Open the run mode picker next to Run forecast, and slide to the run mode you want. The picker shows the price in credits and your balance.
- Choose Run forecast.
- Follow the live page. It shows each stage, what the forecast is doing now and the sources it has read.
- When it says Your forecast is ready, choose Open forecast.
Run modes
A deeper run mode takes longer and costs more credits. The run mode picker shows the price for your organization.
| Run mode | Time | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Light | About 5 minutes | A quick first look with small models and no extra research. |
| Moderate | About 9 minutes | A fuller run with some expert research. |
| Standard | About 28 minutes | The full forecast, with expert research and code analysis. |
| Deep | About 38 minutes | Stronger models and more research for a hard question. |
| Max | About 1.5 hours | The strongest models and the most research we can run. |
Good to know
- Choosing a run mode spends nothing. Your organization pays when the forecast starts, and a forecast that fails gives its credits back.
- You do not need to keep the page open. Prolepsia emails you when the forecast is ready.
- Once you have connections or forecast presets, a button next to the run mode picks the preset and the connections this forecast may use.
