Short, task-focused recipes, part of the Guide. Each one assumes you know the basics from the Walkthrough.

Recipe	You want to…
Connect any forecasting model	turn the output of your forecasting library into Stockcast targets
Build a target from sample paths	compute cumulative targets from simulated or bootstrapped futures
Refresh targets as forecasts roll	refit targets at each review, using only past data
Compare forecasts and policies	run a fair, multi-SKU comparison and pick a winner on cost
Run large panels	run many SKUs in chunks and get exactly the results of one big run
Put costs on a run	set cost rates, per-SKU prices, and the right accounting window
Run your own simulation loop	step the state yourself, period by period
Use Stockcast in production	compute the period's orders from the current stock and forecast
