AI forecast explanations

Why your estimate moved

Plain-language insights, generated for the exact scenario you've built.

A steady projection

Your simulated changes don't materially shift the estimate. That stability is itself useful — it suggests the proposed life change isn't a strong driver of support in this jurisdiction.

Long-term planning insight

Projections are most useful as a planning tool, not a forecast of your final order. Use them to stress-test your budget and prepare for likely transitions.

Future timeline

Project support over the next decade

Layer life events — promotions, daycare ending, kids aging out — and watch the trajectory recalculate.
