Demand forecast with an uncertainty band
How far might orders reach over the next six months?
Claim: The dotted line extends into the forecast months inside an eighty percent band; the band widens as the forecast reaches further out, and the table gives the lower and upper bounds and labels those months as forecast, not measured.
