- The offcut test reports 82.4% of order-data estimates within ±15% across 1,600 held-out simulated runs.
Field notes
The offcut estimator lets visitors change garment, fabric, size range, and cutting-plan inputs, then compares its estimate with a flat 15% rule of thumb. Its reported test uses 1,600 held-out simulated runs; the page says the estimate falls within ±15% for 82.4% of those runs when using order data alone. The separate stock-risk model is demonstrated on open retail data, explicitly not fashion data, and scores launches from their first 12 weeks of sales.
