Example prompt: Can you forecast demand for my e-commerce electronics category over the next 30 days, and let me know if there's enough verified historical data to make a reliable prediction — or just abstain if the sample is too thin?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a demand forecast that is honest about its own reliability — specifically when data sparsity is a real risk and you cannot afford to act on a fabricated or low-confidence signal. Prefer it over generic forecasting APIs when you need automatic low-sample abstention as a built-in safeguard, and when your use case demands verified demand windows rather than extrapolations from thin data.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient historical demand data triggers abstention rather than a low-quality forecast
- Unrecognized market segment or product category may result in no valid demand windows
- Overly narrow time windows with sparse signals will consistently trigger abstention
- Malformed or missing input parameters return schema validation errors
- Service may be unavailable or return timeout for very broad market queries

## How this service works

Forecast only from verified demand windows with low-sample abstention

## Output

Returns a demand forecast grounded in verified demand windows, including a prediction value or confidence score where data is sufficient, or an explicit abstention signal when sample sizes are too small to produce a reliable estimate. May include the forecast horizon, data quality indicators, and the basis for any abstention decision.
