Troubleshooting path

Keep a zero baseline out of a scaled-error claim

Detect an undefined relative forecast score when the training reference has no variation.

The artifact checks a zero training-reference denominator, distinct from an observed zero outcome in percentage error.

How the case leads to a decision

Reference scale=(|4−4|+|4−4|)/2=0 days. The proposed scaled value 2/0 is undefined; it is not zero error or evidence of an infinitely reliable model.

The bounded result

The two-day error cannot be divided by the zero reference to produce a finite scaled score. Report the absolute error and the undefined relative score instead of inventing a favorable ratio.

Diagnostic planning path

Synthetic planning case: A toy training series has durations four,four,four days. A one-step last-value reference has zero mean absolute training change. A held-out forecast’s mean absolute error is two days.

Owner role · Evaluation owner

Evidence: The denominator comes from this constant training series.

Keep the undefined division explicit

Owner role · Reviewer

Evidence: The two-day absolute error remains reported without a fabricated finite scaled score.

Choose a justified comparison

Owner role · Planning lead

Evidence: Any alternative scale or metric is declared separately rather than patched with an arbitrary denominator.

Decision to make: The two-day error cannot be divided by the zero reference to produce a finite scaled score. Report the absolute error and the undefined relative score instead of inventing a favorable ratio.

Filled manual planning note

Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.

The two-day error cannot be divided by the zero reference to produce a finite scaled score. Report the absolute error and the undefined relative score instead of inventing a favorable ratio. Reference scale=(|4−4|+|4−4|)/2=0 days. The proposed scaled value 2/0 is undefined; it is not zero error or evidence of an infinitely reliable model. A tiny constant training series cannot validate a model or a replacement scale. Scaled comparison requires a meaningful nonzero reference.

Questions about this workflow

Can I replace zero with one silently?

No. That changes the score’s meaning and comparison basis.

Does constant training history prove future durations stay constant?

No. The held-out error already illustrates a different outcome.

Does this create tasks in the product?

No. The brief is a manual planning resource. Use the product access link to check onboarding and the workflows available in your account.
