CAME: Company-Aware Evidence-Memory Experts for Interpretable Quarter-Ahead Revenue Forecasting

Quarter-ahead revenue forecasting requires company-scale numerical accuracy, strict temporal validity, and company-specific interpretation of narrative disclosures. LLMs can distill textual evidence but can produce scale-misaligned forecasts, whereas history-based anchors are stable but miss forecast-time signals such as product transitions, supply constraints, and management guidance. We introduce CAME (Company-Aware Evidence-Memory Experts), a residual-forecasting framework that refines a no-leakage statistical anchor when current semantic evidence and prior error patterns justify an adjustment. On a development-inclusive rolling backtest of 336 company-quarters from 12 large public technology and platform firms, CAME achieves the lowest aggregate point-estimate error among the reported methods, with statistically supported macro-sMAPE gains over the matched Statistical Anchor, and outperforms History + Guidance on all six aggregate metrics. CAME also links adjustments to source-linked evidence cards and guarded memory traces, supporting forecast inspection, provenance, and failure localization.
