PRO:YECTAFinancial and economic forecasting

Product in development · Vision for the final product

Plan with context. Forecast with evidence. Decide with sound judgment.

PRO:YECTA is designed to turn historical financial data, economic variables, and management expertise into transparent, explainable monthly budgets and forecasts.

PRO:YECTA: Pronóstico Financiero y Económico

Principle

Not all financial line items behave the same way

PRO:YECTA will analyze what it is forecasting before deciding how to forecast it. Its method starts from the company’s operational reality, not from a single formula applied across the organization.

Understands the company

Currency, country, industry, size, calendar, structure, and risk exposure.

Interprets each line item

Classifies revenue, costs, expenses, payroll, taxes, and investments by account and dimension.

Compares forecasting models

Tests alternatives against historical data and selects or combines those that best explain each series.

Preserves expert judgment

Makes the management intervention, its rationale, and its effect on the final forecast visible.

Traceability

A forecast that separates evidence from judgment

Traceability shows what the engine produced and what the organization decided.

Evidence

Baseline forecast

A reproducible result from the model, its variables, and its assumptions.

Judgment

Management intervention

A documented adjustment by amount, percentage, or replacement value.

Decision

Final forecast

The approved view for planning, monitoring and accountability.

Payroll and regulatory compliance

Labor cost forecasting with rules that reflect when requirements take effect, starting with Costa Rica.

  • Salary increases
  • Statutory contributions and payroll taxes

Economic variables

Version-controlled indicators that can become drivers for accounts exposed to those variables.

Integrated economic context

External information that supports better forecasting

PRO:YECTA connects external variables with the financial line items they can affect, so forecasts better reflect the reality of your business.

US dollar

USD exchange rates to anticipate their impact on purchases, sales and obligations in dollars.

Euro

EUR exchange rates to incorporate operations or costs linked to this currency.

Inflation and prices

CPI and inflation to estimate how costs, expenses and margins may change.

Your industry context

Industry indicators to consider the variables that most influence your business.

Method

From data to a defensible decision

Each stage preserves visibility into data sources, assumptions, and responsibilities.

  1. Establish context

    Company profile, currency, country, and dimensions.

  2. Understand

    Account classification, patterns, missing data, and risks.

  3. Forecast

    Models, drivers, and intervals by line item.

  4. Apply judgment

    Manual adjustments and documented management judgment.

  5. Approve

    Versions, owners, scenarios, and the close process.

  6. Learn

    Actual-to-forecast comparison and recalibration.

Accuracy without a black box

A sound forecast does more than provide a number. It should explain where it came from, acknowledge uncertainty, and enable the finance team to defend the decision to management.

  • Visible assumptions and sources
  • Change history
  • Confidence intervals
  • Owners and approvals

Availability

PRO:YECTA is in development. The architecture is designed to support both a standalone application and API integration with budgeting modules. Scope, integrations, and implementation will be defined for each organization.

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace the finance team’s judgment?

No. PRO:YECTA is designed to separate the baseline forecast from management intervention so both remain visible, explainable, and auditable.

Can it work with new line items or missing data?

The vision includes manual imputation and cold-start forecasting methods based on drivers, comparables, and documented assumptions. The appropriate method will depend on the available evidence.

Is it limited to Costa Rica?

Costa Rica will be the initial regulatory framework. The design anticipates country-specific rules with defined effective periods so coverage can expand while keeping each jurisdiction’s regulations separate.

How will it connect with other systems?

The proposed architecture prioritizes secure APIs and notifications. It does not require direct access to accounting-system or ERP databases.
