What a forecast fit label means
The chip on a forecast card, such as Good fit, comes from how well Hunter matched the forecast to your business.

A fit chip tells you how well Hunter matched a forecast to your business. It sits in the top block of the card, next to Hunter's reason.
The three chips
The chip comes from the same match tiers as the opportunities list. See What an opportunity match score and fit label mean.
When there is no chip
- The forecast has no match for your business yet.
- The expected date has passed. A chip reads like an instruction, so Hunter shows none on a card marked Expected date passed.
The reason block
The block has the heading Why Hunter thinks this fits or Hunter's take. The text under it is Hunter's reason in plain words. If Hunter wrote a new line for the card, the heading is Hunter's take, also on a Good fit card.
Example
A card shows Good fit and the reason "In a state you serve". The buyer plans building repairs. Your industry codes (NAICS) cover building work.
What the chip cannot know
- The chip does not tell you if you can bid. Who may bid is a separate line on the card, Who may bid.
- The chip does not read the full record. For a full read, open the forecast and use Grant. See Read Grant's forecast assessment and plan.
- The chip is only as good as your business facts. See Which business facts affect opportunity matches?.
β What to do next: Open a forecast and read Grant's assessment. See Read Grant's forecast assessment and plan.
