What These Numbers Mean

90 days. That is the target.

Standard humanitarian early warning systems issue effective alerts 30–45 days before crisis thresholds. Pre-positioning food aid and mobilising emergency logistics requires 60–90 days minimum. CERES is designed to close that gap.

CERES issues 90-day horizon predictions — each carrying a calibrated probability, 90% sensitivity interval, and named driver causes. Every prediction is timestamped on issue and graded against IPC outcomes when the T+90 date arrives.

Prospective hit rate and lead time metrics will populate automatically from May 2026 as graded predictions accumulate. Performance targets: Brier score <0.10 · Tier I precision >80% · SI coverage >88%.

How We Verify

Graded against published IPC outcomes. No exceptions.

Every CERES prediction carries a T+90 grading date. When that date arrives, we compare our probabilistic forecast against the IPC phase classification published by OCHA, FEWS NET, or the IPC Global Platform for that region.

Predictions are graded on: (1) whether our predicted tier matches the observed IPC phase, (2) whether the actual outcome fell within our 90% sensitivity interval, and (3) our Brier score — the standard probabilistic calibration metric used in meteorological forecasting.

This ledger is public, permanent, and updated automatically. We do not remove incorrect predictions. View the full ledger →
