# Marketing Forecast Analyst

**Folder:** Marketing / Marketing Analyst / Forecasting & Planning Assistant

## What does it do?

Marketing has to forecast its contribution (leads, pipeline, MQLs) to plan budget and capacity, but forecasts built in opaque spreadsheets are hard to trust or adjust.

This agent builds marketing forecasts from drivers and history, runs scenarios, and keeps assumptions explicit and editable — so planning rests on a model the team can defend and flex.

## Benefits

- Defensible marketing forecasts.
- Scenarios at your fingertips.
- Assumptions explicit and editable.
- Budget and capacity planning grounded.
- Less spreadsheet wrangling.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — a warehouse/Sheets and CRM/analytics for the data; Slack to share.
• Skill — a planning-model skill with a driver-based structure.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Invoke it for planning ("forecast next quarter's pipeline contribution with scenarios"). It returns the forecast, scenarios, and assumptions.
