Most situations in RMA, since assessment is predominantly and it is important to understand (at least) the business as usual future as a baseline for assessment of proposals. Helps to identify the future under the 'without' change option – that is, under current policy settings. Commonly combined with other tools, especially scenario analysis, and information sets to identify different future outcomes. Most projections are based on a combination of historical actual patterns, and assumptions about the key drivers of those patterns into the future. Hence, they must rely on the robustness of core assumptions. May not take account of changes in management responses. Projections are usually more reliable at regional or district level, as short-term variations are more evident at the local level. May be based on scenarios. Sensitivity analysis may be required.

Need data inputs in terms of trend/time series, to track historic patterns as basis for trend or modelling.
