Definition

A leader's ability to predict their own organization's measures (e.g., engagement scores, attrition rates, operational outcomes) in advance of actuals. Posited as a measurable, expected, LEARNABLE leadership attribute (Tetlock-adjacent: cf. the judgmental-forecasting / superforecasting literature on forecasting as a trainable skill). Two distinct subcomponents, registered as child constructs: (a) point accuracy — closeness of point estimates to actuals — and (b) calibration — interval honesty, i.e., whether stated uncertainty intervals contain actuals at their nominal rate. Proposed PA-original construct (provenance: pa-original); psychometric properties unestablished.
