Domain adaptation across product launches

Forecast uncertainty needs to be measured and carried into downstream decisions. This technical note frames domain adaptation across product launches as part of that full planning chain.

Practitioner lens

Forecast distributions from domain adaptation across product launches become actionable when passed into inventory, sourcing or capacity models. Preserving uncertainty is often more useful than collapsing it too early.

First experiment

Compare with naive and current-production baselines, then test sensitivity across product and lifecycle cohorts.

This is an original educational brief. It is a starting point for discussion, not a claim that one technique fits every supply chain.
