Forisk’s Custom Market Forecast (CMF) provides market-specific analyses and price/cost forecasts of a client’s wood baskets or timber markets. The CMF leverages models from the Forisk Research Quarterly (FRQ) to deliver timely and cost-efficient market-specific analyses for clients.

Deliverables include a dashboard-style report and corresponding Excel file with price/cost forecasts for each individual market ordered by the client. The client works directly with Forisk to select the counties and create customized market areas tailored to their needs.

Firms that purchase the Custom Market Forecast (CMF) will receive two CMFs per year per market. The first CMF is delivered soon after the initial order, and then you receive an updated CMF report and data in February (Q1) or August (Q3).

The CMF is only available to firms that have a current subscription to the Forisk Research Quarterly (FRQ).
