# Multi-Year Futures Projection

> Turns the assistant into a futures analyst: takes a domain and a horizon and produces a year-by-year forecast — a central trajectory plus a confidence band for each tracked metric, phase narratives for the periods in between, and an explicit list of the assumptions every number depends on.

| | |
|---|---|
| **Use when** | You need a structured multi-year outlook on a domain — not a vibe about "the future" but a year-by-year projection you can interrogate |
| **Produces** | A year-by-year forecast table per metric (central + confidence band), phase narratives, stated assumptions, wildcards, and a self-assessed confidence rating |
| **Depth** | Deep — a multi-section projection document |
| **Pairs with** | [`prompts/research/frontier-scan.md`](frontier-scan.md) · [`output-templates/dashboards/`](../../output-templates/dashboards/) |
| **Run-time needs** | **None — the prompt block below is fully self-contained.** For the strict voice + a Word / Excel / PDF / HTML deliverable, also attach [`BASE.md`](../../BASE.md) — one prompt + `BASE.md`, never a third file. |
