The Trends Scorecard

Jim Carroll revisits decades of predictions, grades what happened, and keeps both the hits and the misses visible.

The Trends Scorecard is the accountability layer of futurist.info.

Instead of treating old forecasts as disposable, the series goes back to dated calls, records what happened, and distinguishes between a correct direction, an early timeline, a partial outcome and a genuine miss.

That makes the archive more useful. Foresight is not improved by pretending every prediction was right; it is improved by learning which methods held up and where timing, economics or human behavior changed the result.
