Measure the pace
Separate current level from rate of change and acceleration. A one-time capability jump is not the same as a durable exponential trend.

Acceleration-Aware Forecast Ω
Forecast a world that may accelerate during the forecast itself. Verify the newest evidence, measure the change in pace and recalculate what can now happen in hours, days and parallel autonomous loops.
Decision support · scenario discipline · not a guaranteeThe forecasting law
Never extrapolate stale timelines.
Before forecasting, verify the newest reliable evidence—preferably primary sources—and compare today’s pace with 6–12 months ago across capability, cost, task-time compression, automation, adoption and the acceleration of those rates.
Fit competing models
Test linear, exponential, accelerating, constrained and regime-change models. Preserve a serious but uncertain discontinuity scenario.
Recalculate work
Identify what now takes hours instead of weeks, what can run autonomously or in parallel and what still requires human, institutional or physical execution.
Scenario architecture
Base. Accelerated. Discontinuous.
A useful forecast does not compress uncertainty into one number. It makes assumptions, triggers, bottlenecks and revision conditions visible.
Base
Continuation under the most defensible current pace, with explicit constraints and ordinary adoption friction.
Accelerated
Faster capability, cost decline, automation and diffusion, with feedback between AI production and AI development.
Discontinuous
A serious but highly uncertain regime shift in which recursive improvement, new architectures or institutional adoption sharply change the feasible frontier.
What does not accelerate automatically
Capability is not deployment.
Forecasts must preserve the bottlenecks that remain outside pure model capability.
Authority and trust
Permission, accountable acceptance, liability, evidence and institutional confidence may move more slowly than generation.
Regulation and adoption
Law, procurement, organizational change, labour agreements, standards and public legitimacy can dominate the critical path.
Capital and infrastructure
Compute, energy, supply chains, laboratories, robotics, data rights and physical execution impose real constraints.

Acceleration-Aware Forecast Brief
Required return
A decision-ready forecast.
The final analysis should expose its date, sources, assumptions and revision point.
Current pace
Evidence, calculations and comparison with 6–12 months earlier.
Three scenarios
Base, accelerated and discontinuous milestones with confidence ranges.
Bottlenecks
Authority, trust, adoption, regulation, capital, energy, supply chains and physical execution.
Trigger indicators
Observable events that would move probability or invalidate an assumption.
Optimal plan now
Actions appropriate to the present regime—not to a stale imagined future.
Dated recalculation
A specific review date or trigger that forces the forecast to be rebuilt from current evidence.
