About Scanalytics

Principles

• Official sources only. Every figure comes from the ONS, Ofgem or GOV.UK. We do not estimate or adjust historical data.
• Honest scoring. Forecasts are locked before the release and compared with the actual figure. Backtests are always labelled as backtests.
• Show the working. The forecast method is published in full on the methodology page.
