Forecast factors

Pressure Breakdown

This is the weighted case behind the ranking. It explains where the Forecast Index comes from without pretending the number is a literal probability.

  • Active Cycle+5

    Correlated activity evidence is bundled with diminishing returns: release (4), touring (2).

  • Shaky genre fit+3

    Heavy modern alt-rock with enough hookiness to read as a natural Shaky add.

  • Fresh booking opportunity+2

    Never playing Shaky keeps the booking fresh without losing genre fit.
