Build an interactive forecasting tool that helps product businesses estimate future warranty-related costs using historical claims and configurable assumptions.
Allow users to import sales cohorts, product categories, warranty periods, claim dates, repair costs, replacement costs, and claim outcomes.
Include:
A warranty exposure timeline by sales cohort.
Historical claim-rate calculations with sample sizes.
Cost breakdowns for repairs, replacements, logistics, and administration.
Scenario analysis for different failure rates and average claim costs.
Comparisons between product generations or suppliers when sufficient data exists.
A reserve-planning calculator with transparent assumptions.
Early warning indicators for unusually high claim rates.
An exportable forecast with an evidence and assumptions log.
Distinguish observed claims from future estimates. Account for products that have not yet completed their warranty period, and avoid treating incomplete cohorts as directly comparable to mature ones. Do not present the forecast as an accounting or legal determination. Include synthetic data and testable calculations.
