What “96% forecast accuracy” actually means.
A precise claim about one thing, not a vague claim about everything.
Beacon forecasts wireless signal, and does it well, over 96% accuracy. It is worth being exact about what that number covers, because the precision is the point. The 96% is about signal metrics: RSRP and RSRQ, the strength and quality of the radio signal at a location. Beacon predicts what those will be before anyone rolls a truck, so you know whether a site will have usable coverage without finding out the expensive way. That is the claim, scoped to exactly that. It is not a claim about application performance. Signal is necessary for a service to work; it is not sufficient. A site can have excellent RSRP and still see poor throughput for reasons that have nothing to do with the radio. Beacon forecasts the radio. It does not pretend to forecast everything downstream of it, and we won’t let the headline number imply that it does. This is deliberate. A forecast that claims less and means it is worth more than one that claims everything and holds up nowhere. 96% on signal, stated honestly, beats “highly accurate” on nothing in particular.
