AI Bench Availability Forecast
A forward-looking, advisory projection of when each seat on your bench is likely to open — so you backfill before the gap.
Bench management already tracks who is on contract and when assignments end. The AI Bench Availability Forecast goes one step further: it projects when each active seat is likely to open, scores the risk and confidence of that projection, and lays out advisory next steps on a forward-looking timeline. It is a planning aid — a projected estimate, never a guarantee, an SLA, or a DCAA-compliant determination.
What you get
Built to solve the actual problems hiring teams hit every day.
Projected, not promised
Every forecast is an advisory planning estimate with an explicit confidence score — clearly framed as a projection, never a commitment, SLA, or compliance determination.
Risk-ranked timeline
Seats are sorted by how soon they are projected to open and tagged low / medium / high risk, so the seats that need a backfill first rise to the top.
Advisory next steps per seat
Each projection comes with recommended actions — confirm the period of performance, begin sourcing, check on a recompete — phrased as suggestions you can act on or ignore.
Deterministic fallback
When AI enrichment is unavailable the forecast still renders from a deterministic baseline off your contract end dates, so the timeline is never empty.
Org-scoped & on demand
Runs only against your own organization's active assignments, on the bench page, the moment you ask for it.
How it works
Four steps from setup to value.
Track your assignments
Add active assignments with start/end dates on the Bench Management page (the data you already keep).
Run the forecast
Click "Forecast Availability". Each active seat is projected forward — predicted open date, confidence, and risk.
Review the timeline
Seats appear newest-opening-first with a risk badge, a confidence percentage, and advisory recommended actions.
Plan the backfill
Use the projection to start sourcing or confirm an extension before the contract gap — and the revenue gap — opens.
FAQ
Quick answers to common questions.
Is the forecast a guarantee of when someone rolls off?
No. It is a projected, advisory planning estimate only — never a guarantee, an SLA, or a DCAA-compliant determination. Each projection shows a confidence score precisely so you treat it as a planning aid, not a commitment.
What does it base the projection on?
The contract end date on each active assignment, plus context like role and agency. It only adjusts the date away from the contractual end when there is a strong signal, and lowers confidence when it does.
What if the AI is unavailable?
The timeline still renders from a deterministic baseline computed from your end dates, so you always get a forecast — the AI layer only sharpens it and adds narrative recommended actions.
