How to Read APE
The acronym APE stands for Absolute Percentage Errorβa straightforward metric that reflects the accuracy of your projections.
A good projection should have an APE performance of 20% or lower, indicating high accuracy in forecasting. The lower the number, the greater the accuracy.
A fair projection demonstrates an APE performance between 21% and 50%, signifying reasonable forecasting accuracy.
A poor projection has an APE performance of 51% or higher, indicating the need for an updated forecast to enhance its accuracy.
