Opportunities for Consulting Firms
Valmarpro Forecasting, Inc. intends to maintain friendly
relations
with consulting firms which normally provide forecasts or
estimates in
the economic, financial, environmental, and other fields. The
activities of Valmarpro Forecasting are complementary to, not
necessarily competitive with, the activities of such firms.
Opportunities for consulting firms include:
- Forecasters: Consulting firms can provide, often on
short notice,
competent forecasters/estimators to the various forecasting or
estimation projects which Valmarpro Forecasting may undertake.
- Forecast Preliminaries: Consulting Firms can provide
preliminary
information-gathering and modeling activities. This is useful to
avoid
duplication of effort by several forecasters/estimators, so that
forecasters/estimators can concentrate on providing their
informed
judgement.
- Client Referrals: Some clients may prefer that final
forecasts/estimates be provided by several independent experts
working
under an incentive-based scheme to motivate accuracy. Consulting
firms
which refer clients to Valmarpro Forecasting will be preferred
over
firms which do not.
- Third-Party Bonding: Consulting firms may wish to
provide third-party
bonds on behalf of their own forecasters/estimators.
Particularly
ambitious firms may wish to provide third-party bonds on behalf
of
unaffiliated forecasters/estimators.
- Confidential Advice: From time to time, Valmarpro
Forecasting may
request the advice of economic and statistical consultants on
such
subjects as appropriate loss functions, incentives, aggregation
methods,
procedures for detecting or preventing collusion, or other
business-
related topics.
