Before you start
- AI forecasting applies only to future
periods within your selected date
range.
How it works
TeamworkAI combines machine learning models
and your site's historical profitability data
to automatically generate projections for
revenue, cost, and profit.
When AI forecasting is turned on, the
profitability chart introduces a vertical
dotted line to differentiate between your actual profitability data (to the left)
and your forecasted data (to the
right).
Enable AI forecasting
- Select Reports in Teamwork.com's
main navigation menu.
- Scroll to and select Profitability from the reports gallery (or use
search).
- Toggle on AI Forecast in the
report's top right.
The chart refreshes to display forecasted
values for future months in your selected
range.

Tip
If no forecast appears, check that
your date range includes future
months. AI forecasting only applies to
periods ahead of the current
date.

Forecast models
The system selects the forecasting approach
based on how much profitability data is
currently available in your report.
Available data | Forecast model |
---|---|
512+ days | TinyTimeMixer (TTM): Generates
estimates based on historical
averages and trends. |
90–511 days | Prophet: A statistical
model that handles trends and
seasonality, even with
moderate data sets. |
Fewer than 90 days | Forecasting isn't available if
there isn't enough historical
data to produce a reliable
estimate. |
Keep in mind
- Forecasts only use your site's historical data. They do not
account for upcoming project plans or
future scope changes.
- For best results, keep your data accurate
and up to date.
- Forecasts are intended to guide planning
and may vary as more data becomes
available.
Privacy & data usage
AI forecasting in the profitability report
follows the same privacy-first principles
outlined in Teamwork's
AI policy.
- Your data is never shared with
third-parties or used to train
external models.
- Forecasts are generated using only your
own historical profitability data.
- Predictions are created securely and
privately using only your
historical data.
- Only users with profitability report
access can view forecasted data.
- You stay in control. AI forecasting
is optional and can be toggled on or off
at any time.
Best practices
- Validate your data regularly:
Ensure historical data (logged time, cost
rates, billable rates) is accurate.
- Educate your team: Make sure
stakeholders understand what AI
forecasting does (and doesn't).
- Review forecasts in context: Pair
predictions with known changes (ex. new
hires, client churn, renewals). AI
forecasting shows where you're headed;
context explains why.
