Blind cashflow
Finance discovers shortfalls after payroll week.
Forecast collections and academic curves before the quarter ends
Predictive Analytics (beta) models fee cashflow and academic trajectories so leadership plans budgets and interventions with confidence intervals — not gut feel.

The problem
Why campuses plan next term with last year’s spreadsheet
Static budgets ignore early-warning curves in both academics and cash.
Late academic flags
Failing trajectories appear only at report-card time.
No intervals
Single-point guesses hide uncertainty.
Silo models
Academics and fees never share a planning view.

FAQ
Questions teams ask before buying
Straight answers for setup, integrations, and day-two operations.
Why is Predictive Analytics marked beta?
Forecast quality improves with clean historical data; expect ongoing model and UX refinements during beta.
Do we need a data science team?
No. Models run on ScholarERP operational data; your team interprets forecasts, not trains pipelines.
Can forecasts feed budgets?
Yes. Use projected collections alongside Budgeting envelopes for planning discussions.
How accurate are the models?
Accuracy depends on data completeness and campus patterns; confidence bands communicate uncertainty instead of false precision.
